Background
Howard Richmond has been studying, practising and teaching
Tai Chi and Chi Kung for over 40 years. His teacher all
that time has been Master Kam Chuen
Lam and Howard is one of his senior teachers.
Programme
This series will teach:
• Standing Zhan Zhuang Chi Kung postures ("5 energies 6 postures")
• Eight fine treasures (stretching exercises)
• Golden Ball Tai Chi
• Moving Chikung Exercises
• Master Lam's Tai Chi Small Circle form
This form of Tai Chi is very gentle and static or slow moving. It does normally involve standing but some of it can be done sitting. While suitable for all ages and fitness levels it is particularly suitable for older people. Fairly solid research shows it is good for balance and can lessen the likelihood of falls as we get older.
