Introductory Wahnam Taijiquan Course in Japan

FOUR TAIJIQUAN COMBAT SEQUENCES ON STRIKING, KICKING, FELLING AND CHIN-NA

Sifu Emiko strikes the kicking leg as Grandmaster Wong attempts a sick kick in a Taijiquan combat sequence

After having learnt the basics, which is shown in Part 1 of this series, course participants proceed to learn combat applications. All the four aspects of attack and their defence -- striking, kicking, felling and chin-na ? are covered. It is inspiring that all the participants, including fresh beginners, are able to use Taijiquan for free sparring at the end of the course.

This video series is presented in two parts. Part 1, which can be accessed here is divided into the following sections, which also follow the order the lessons were taught.

This is Part 2, and is divided into the following sections.

Combat Sequence 1 - Striking
Combat Sequence 2 - Kicking
Combat Sequence 3 - Felling
Combat Sequence 4 - Chin-Na

This video series provides excellent reference material for those who wish to prepare themselves for more advanced Taijiquan courses at the UK Summer Camp in July 2008 and the Intensive Taijiquan Course in September 2008.
