Returning Tai Chi [Part 1]

Returning Tai Chi Form Part 1 is a 28-lesson online course. Sifu Dimitri recommends dedication to practicing one lesson per week. Throughout the 28 lessons, you will begin to experience some of the many benefits tai chi offers, including improvements in strength, flexibility, coordination, balance, and a relaxed body and mind.

Tai Chi is about the steady flow of movement and helps you develop stability, without which you cannot safely build strength. The more stability you have, the more it’s possible to increase strength.

“Returning Tai Chi Chuan Form,” or “Pangu Tai Chi Chuan Form,” is working on the fundamentals of martial arts, such as agility, balance, coordination and opening the body’s joints by stretching the ligaments, tendons and muscle groups.

Pangu Tai Chi has two unique features. First, Pangu Tai Chi harnesses the qi of the universe in order for it to improve the body’s physiological condition, including the immune system; and second, it emphasizes exercising the lower body, while not neglecting the upper torso, to improve blood circulation, thus making it easier for the blood to return to the heart.

 

WHY IS IT CALLED RETURNING TAI CHI?
The Form is called Returning Tai Chi because it takes you back in time, returning to the historic Yang (Yeung) Family Tai Chi Chuan Form as it was originally practiced 200 years ago while incorporating movements from every other variation. Over the centuries, each Master in the Form varied the stances and postures to accommodate his body of students. Master Vincent Chu, a sixth-generation practitioner of the Classical Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Form, and Qigong Master Ou Wen Wei, creator of the Pangu Qi Gong Form, developed and perfected the Returning Tai Chi Form over the course of 13+ years.

 

IF I BUY PART 1, WILL I EVENTUALLY NEED PARTS 2 AND 3? 
No. Returning Tai Chi Part 1, 2 and 3 are each full courses on their own. Each Part requires its own course, but you do not have to purchase all 3 parts to gain value from one.

Each part of the form is designed to take your practice deeper, incrementally increasing your ability to experience the full benefits of Tai Chi.

Each part introduces more challenging movements, requiring greater strength and endurance. Through consistent daily practice, you will naturally develop the endurance, strength, flexibility, balance, directional awareness, advanced breathing techniques, and focus required to perform each part with precision.

Part 2 introduces the 10 principles of Tai Chi, foundational guidelines that will enhance your understanding of movement, breathwork, and balance. Part 2 and 3 also introduce modification videos, which provide adapted techniques for success with mobility limitations.

 

HOW LONG IS THE COURSE?

Part 1 consists of 28 lessons. If following Sifu Dimitri’s recommendation of learning one lesson per week, the entire course will take 28 weeks to complete. Without instruction, the form is 10-12 minutes of continuous motion.
All sessions are pre-recorded so you can practice at your own pace.

The full form (parts 1-3) is 35-40 minutes long.

 

WHAT’S INCLUDED? 

Each lesson consists of an instruction video, a demonstration video, and sometimes a modifications video.
