Immerse yourself in the practice of Yiquan and/or Qigong for a long weekend.
Yiquan is an excellent internal martial art, quite similar to Taijiquan but much simpler. Its unique moli (sensing of strength) exercises are ideal for getting in touch with internal energy and internal power. Its shili (testing strength) and mocabu (friction step) exercises are the Yiquan equivalent of the Taijiquan form but being far simpler, enable students to incorporate the correct principles much earlier on.
The practice of Yiquan (with Karel) can dramatically speed up your Taijiquan progress. Students who attended past such retreats agree that at the end of the weekend you should be able to reach internal states that would take many years of Taijiquan practice to achieve.
Parallel to Yiquan practice, there will be a program of Qigong exercises (with Eva).
Qigong is a special form of traditional Chinese soft exercises, which enable the participant's attention to be focused on all parts of the body. This kind of practice promotes cultivation of internal energy, creating harmony and balance between body and mind.
- It will be possible for participants to switch from one program to the other at will. -
We plan to practice in a location with a beautiful view of the sea (weather permitting).
