TAIJIQUAN


The Chanquanshu schools of Taijiquan run two types of syllabus.

1. Full Syllabus
Which contains Modern & Traditional Yang Forms, Tui shou, San shou, Da lü, Applications, Weapons and Qinna, Health and Relaxation, and History and Philosophy.

2. Health and Relaxation Syllabus
Includes the History and Philosophy from the Full Syllabus but expands the Qigong and Meditation parts of the Health and Relaxation section.

Each Chanquanshu school of Taijiquan is slightly different from the others. For while the Core Syllabus is standard each instructor is encouraged to bring his own skills and experiences to the individual school syllabus.

The Core Syllabus is based on the modern routines of ‘24-Step Taijiquan’ and ‘32-Step Taiji Jian’ along with the more traditional Yang solo and partner forms, applications, etc.. The overall bias in Chanquanshu is toward Qinna techniques.
