Beginners and experienced bodywork practitioners alike will find these energetic techniques to be useful and immediately applicable. For those who have studied core energy qigong tui na with him in the past, he’ll teach deeper aspects of subjects such as openings and closings, twisting and spiraling, or other techniques drawn from the 16 neigong components of internal power.

The Three Circles of Tai Chi & Heaven and Earth Qigong

Kingsford, NSW, Australia
9 March 2013 - 10 March 2013

We are excited to announce for the first time Taoist Lineagei Holder Bruce Frantzis is offering Energy Arts courses in Australia and New Zealand. 

In China, Bruce found no other simple exercise as powerful as Heaven and Earth Qigongi for promoting health and vitality. It is used in China to relieve back, neck and joint problems and to mitigate conditions such as arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. This training will explore Heaven and Earth’s qi-based methods of bending and stretching the body's tissues, opening and closing (pulsing) the body’s joints and cavities, and circulating energy (micro- & macrocosmic orbits). 

Tai Chii Circling Hands™ teaches you how to do all the essential circular movements, alignments and weight shifting contained within any tai chi form. The three Circling Hand movements are simple to learn and provide an ideal physical and energetic workout. Circling Hands offers an easy and dynamic way to learn the external movement principles and internal qi practices that generate the deep healing potential of tai chi.

As time permits during this course, Bruce will demonstrate the martial applications contained within the three circles of Tai Chi Circling Hands. This course can be taken as two stand alone one-day workshops or more powerfully as a complete weekend workshop. This course will give you an introduction to the material covered in the Instructor Training in Ibiza, Spain July 2013.

Tai Chi Push Hands Intensive

Santa Eulalia del Rio, Ibiza, Spain
28 July 2013 - 3 August 2013

Between learning the form movements of tai chi and being able to use them for self-defense are series of two-person sensitivity and power exercises called Push Handsi. During this seven day workshop, Master Frantzis will teach a program any tai chi teacher regardless of style (Wu, Yang or Chen) can use to organize a complete basic Push Hands program for their school based on both standardized choreographed two-person movements and exercises to learn freestyle Push Hands.

Since openings and closings are essential to Push Hands, this course is a natural extension to the Marriage of Heaven and Earth Instructor Training that it follows.

This course will review and be a continuation of the most recent Push Hands Intensive in Brookline MA (June 2012). New techniques, training methods and practical information will be presented.
