This exciting workshop with Sam Masich is just a few weeks away! If you're a tai chi student you will want to take advantage of this opportunity to study push hands and neigong with one of the very best teachers around! And if you have NEVER studied tai chi, this workshop will be a unique and excellent chance to study profoundly internal, meditative exercises that can change your life -- no previous experience required! Oh, and if you're coming from the States the currency conversion right now is very much in your favour.

Art Baner Workshop: Fourhands, stepping patterns
The Art Baner workshop on Fourhands and stepping paterns is taking place November 21-22 in Glen Park, $200 for the weekend.
Art is an amazing established practitioner in WA. He comes to Vancouver a few times a week to lead or attend workshops.
The weekend will consist of learning the basic choreography of fourhands, an essential training peace in partner work in Taiji. From the basics we expand onto stepping patterns, develop into some freehands and finally into some unique martial applications as well.
