Warm ups

I always begin classes with 20-25 minutes of warming up, mostly with various warm-ups from the 8 Pieces Of Brocade.

Beginning classes:

New students (unless they have prior experience) usually begin with the 24 standard Yang form

After completion of the 24 Yang, students are given the option of learning:

A. The 42 Compulsory (combination style) form,
B. The 24 Chen style,
C. The 42 Fu style.
D. The Cheng Man Ching 37 movement form

For more on these particular styles, see the Styles page.

Advanced classes:

After approximately six months, students are given the option of learning the following three long forms:

NOTE: Unless other arrangements are made, I require the student to learn Yi Lu (Form 1) prior to learning Er Lu (Form 2), and some degree of competency in Form 1 is essential.

Weapons:

I teach the Chen 18 movement spear form, the Chen 56 movement sword, and the 36 Broadsword. Prerequisites are at least 1 year of doing Chen, or combination of Chen/Fu/Yang/Compulsory forms.
