August 23-26, 2025 (four days)
Lake Cowichan, Vancouver Island, Canada
4th Vancouver Island Taijiquan Camp (Week One)
Yang-style Taijiquan
from Meditation to Martial Art (& Back)
Is Taijiquan a martial art? Meditation in motion? All of the above?
The traditional Yang-style Taijiquan '108' Long Form has been practiced for over 100 years. Some use their practice for physical and mental relaxation with the goal of keeping healthy and sane. Some are more focused on 'application' in the sense of practical self-defence. According to the past masters these goals are not incompatible.
Diving deep into the 108 form for both the meditative and the martial aspects we will come to understand what our taijiquan forebearers described a 'self-cultivation through martial.' Lots of leg and brain work! Come prepared to be strengthened and softened at the same time!
