Did some review of the 8 Brocades on this morning's course, correcting posture, sharing benefits and picture perfect form while staying relaxed.
We also covered Wuji stance and Flicking Fingers.
A great class of Intermediate and Senior students.
Well done everyone. It was so nice to see you all despite icy roads.
Glad ye are choosing to be healthy, happy and free for 2026
See you all on 8th February 💖🙏

The 8 Brocades Qigong set is the first 8 patterns of The 18 Lohan hands taught by Bodhidharma to the Shaolin monks. They are considered the best patterns e.g...

The first of our monthly Sundays for Intermediate and Seniors begins tomorrow in Killarney court hotel.
I'm so glad so many of you are joining me in our continuing journey of being healthy, happy and free for 2026.
The Beginners syllabus begins in a few weeks both online and in person.
You can check out my website for full details on that and the in person Tai Chi syllabus and dates also.
In my opinion, Tai Chi Chuan cannot be taught online so this is an in person course over set Sundays throughout the year.
I'm looking forward to sharing these two amazing and profound arts with you.

2025 is a 9 year signifying endings 2026 is a 1 year signifying new beginnings. As I was thinking about this I realised that 1999 was a 1 year and that was the year that I bought Sifus book Chi Kung for health and vitality and booked an Intensive Chi Kung course in Malaysia with him.
Even though the course was January 2000 a 2 year, the seeds were set in 1999 and what a new beginning it was 😀 those seeds sprouted really well and not only helped me but hundreds since then.
What seed are you setting for 2026?
Many Blessings and sudden joys - Sifu Joan. 🙏💖

I have decided to
also run levels 1 to 6 of Tai Chi Chuan in 2026 similar to the Chi Kung yearly course...The difference? Tai Chi Chuan is self defence with all the energy and mind aspects of Chi Kung.
It is Chi Kung but the movements are training self defence for work, business and daily life. A very high level art of energy and mind as well as attaining good health, flexibility and a calm mind.
Excellent for over thinkers!
Full details later.

Many Blessings,

Why am I focusing on a year long course for 2026?
One reason is:
In Chi Kung, or indeed any art, learning techniques is an objective but turning those techniques into skills is the aim.
It is not feasible to transmit that on a day or weekend course, especially if I never see that student again.
The year long course brings the best out in the participant and is also a lot of fun with a like minded community and access to your Sifu.
