Tai Chi Double Bang/Baton in Chen Style

Tai Chi Double Bang/Baton in Chen Style is a practice using spiral coiling energy to power the baton’s strikes. It is a weapon method rooted in traditional Chinese mace, a blunt and heavy weapon used to deliver strong smashes. This practice reinforces Chen Tai Chi’s motion starting with the center dantian rotation, driving coiling energy all the way to the wrists’ small twisting circle to initiate large power blows. This is unique training for wrist rotation to stimulate six hand-meridian channel’s origin points around the wrist’s energy flow. It will also help prevent carpal tunnel and improve arm strength. Baton length around 18" and 1.5 to 2" in diameter, prefer heavy/solid wood. Master Tsao teaches this traditional routine posture by posture, in detail in English, with both front and back views.  It is a good reference for home study, or a resource for instructor's teaching preparation. Suggest 45 class hours.  (Difficulty: Beginner through Advanced Levels). DVD-R, (65 minutes)
