We have been going to Belsey Bridge Conference Centre for many years and always have a good time — this year was exceptional, I guess due to the lovely mix of people who attended. The food was great †like the best ever school meals!†and the company fun. Everyone agreed they had learned a lot — perhaps more than they imagined possible — and now appreciated a great deal more than before — on a personal note I learned a lot as well. Training was focused on Laojia form repetitions and corrections plus partner work leading to single push hands — again a first for many but enjoyed by all.
The program was based on how to do†and becoming aware of internal feelings. This involved about 18 hours of actual training with a good measure of discussion on top. Given that this was the first Tai Chi workshop for most people the level of enthusiasm and staying power was notable — with even those who had previously chosen to do only the introductory section now deciding to learn the whole Laojia form.
