HEALING AND MOTION
QIGONG AND TAIJI ( TAI CHI )
at the PRESIDIO of SAN FRANCISCO

TAI CHI ( Taiji ) EXERCISE is world-renowned for health enhancing and life extending benefits. Its' low impact, slow motion movements, coordinated with smooth patterns of breathing, gently massage the joints, organs and tissues, relieving pain and stress and correcting many misalignments and imbalances.

CHI KUNG ( Qigong )( variously also spelled: Qi Gong, Qi Gung, Chi Gong, Chi Gung ), from the Wu Xiang system will also be taught. These Bio-Energy Cultivation exercise sequences, involving Meditative Breathwork, Isolation and Integrative Movement and Seated and Standing Stationary Postures, rapidly heal existing maladies and weaknesses in the body, while preparing the whole person for the transformative and self-defense aspects of Tai Chi Chuan ( Taijiquan ).

INTERACTIVE TAI CHI: The last half hour of this class overlaps with the first half hour of the Interactive Tai Chi Chuan class that follows. Some two-person sensitivity, flexibility and coordination exercises from the Self-Defense / Martial Arts aspect of the tradition will be introduced and trained during this period. Keeping in mind any physical limitations, a student may choose to enroll concurrently in the Interactive Taijiquan class as well, either from the start, or as he or she progresses.

SIFU MICHAEL SHAMAN has been teaching these arts for over 25 years and practicing and studying them for over 35 years. He has given workshops, seminars, classes and demonstrations in various parts of the US, as well as in Europe, Asia and Latin America.

"Unlike many (most) teachers I have encountered, Sifu Michael 's main concern is in the actual mechanics of this energy work - He doesn't just teach the form. He is concerned with the how and the why and is very generous with explaining the reasons behind it all. I feel very fortunate to be able to study with him." L.D., San Francisco
