Xinyi-Dao SF Bay

Using movements from Taijiquan, Xingyiquan, and Baguazhang, we explore different ways of moving with power. Beginning with simple standing practices, we harness breathing methods and simple movements to bring new levels of connection and awareness to your body. Gradually, we progress to more complex movements and forms while maintaining connection and power to your physical core.

Cost: $10 per class, but first lesson is free.

Utilizing the movements and tactics of Taiji, Xingyi, and Bagua, we explore different ways of dealing with external forces and physical violence. Starting with fixed partner drills to emphasize a particular skill, we progress to more live drills and light sparring to encourage a free flow of techniques and counters. Students are expected to have headgear with face cage, mouthpiece, open fingered gloves, and groin protection after the first lesson.

** This is an Outdoor Meetup. Check weather conditions on the day of the meetup.

Join a group of men and woman of mixed ages and martial arts interests as we explore the training system of Xinyidao as developed by Master Li Tailiang. We will be practising old form bagua zhang as well as pi, beng, zuan, pao and heng hand forms derived from the Che and Dai family style of xingyiquan.

The training will be comprised of line drills, single-step sparring, and two-person forms. Depending on interest we will also cover different training techniques to highlight proper body mechanics.
