Five Elements Taiji


  • Council on Aging 227 Front Street Dowagiac, Michigan (map)

The Five Elements Taiji System was created by Master Chungliang Al Huang. He created his taiji system by combining Yang style Tai Chi, Bagua and Qigong. The system is based on the five elemental forces of Fire, Water, Wood, Metal and Earth. It has a Five Element Form made up of all Five Elements and five additional forms called Circles. Each circle represents one of the Five Elements. The fluidity of Yang Style Taiji, the moving meditative stepping of Bagua and the mindful visualizations and breathing of Qigong come together to create a beautiful and powerful meditative dance of nature. The Five Elements Form and the Five Circles, individually, are relatively short forms. They’re easy to learn and they contain the wisdom of nature. When practiced according to Taiji Principles they take you on an endless journey of discovery and amazement on the path of the Tao.

We will review and practice the Five Elements form and circles one and two on Saturday. On Sunday we’ll learn the third circle which is fire. We’ll warm up with Medical Qigong each day and integrate one or two other types of Five Elements Qigong into our practice during the weekend. There will be plenty of time to practice the forms during the workshop. Handouts and video support materials will be included to reinforce what you learn during the weekend. This workshop will be a lot of fun and everyone will experience some amazing qi.
