24 Posture Form - "aka. Short Form / Beijing Form"

The short form was put into training due to the wishes of lots of students who knew the 24 posture routine from some previous training in other schools and wanted to continue this form in our school. So we took it up, but threw out all the fluffy way of moving and put 100% snake style movement into it. So it is not an original Ip Family form,but it is done strictly adhering to the principles of the snake style way, thus training not only health and relaxation but also Yi, Shen and Chi as well as martial applications.

After mastering the slow 24 posture set, the 24 posture fast set  is taught, based on the fast longboxing form.

Normal 55 € / Month - 155 € / Quarter
Reduced 46 € / Month - 130 € / Quarter

One training session lasts 75 minutes.

Traditional Tai Chi Chuan Form - Ip Family Style

This is the old tai chi chuan form, that Yang Cheng Fu taught Yang Sau Chung, who taught it to Ip Tai Tak and finally got to Bob Boyd
Seen from the outside, with an untrained eye, the "generic" Yang Family form and the Ip Family Snake Style Form are the same. Looked upon closer, an experienced practitioner notices that the Ip Style Form is done more fluid, more coiling and twining and with a 100/0 stance instead of the general 70/30 weighting.

There is a completely different way of developing internal power, that Yang Sau Chung taught Ip Tai Tak, and Bob Boyd is now teaching it open to all who are interested in learning it - not a secret anymore, reserved only for the closest disciples but available for all of us.

Like in the 24 Posture Form we start the training with different Chi Kungs to prepare the body, then we go over to one hour of training and refining the form and the last 30 Minutes are always used for fighting and tui shou training

Normal 68 € / Month - 194 € / Quarter
Reduced 56 € / Month - 158 € / Quarter

One training session lasts 120 minutes

Cheung Chuan - (Long Boxing Form - continous fast fist)

---

Tui-Shou - "Push-Hands/Sensing-Hands" and application

This is training concentrated only on the skills developed in push hands and partner fighting exercises. Partly standing, partly free moving - this class deepens the understanding of applying tai chi chuan to an opponent

Normal 46 € / Month- 130 € / Quarter
Reduced 38 € / Month - 105 € / Quarter

One training session lasts 60 minutes

Middle long staff & Spear form

Here we teach the spear form of Ip Tai Tak / Bob Boyd as well as a self designed staff form, based upon years of training with that weapon and, of course, adhering to the way of the snake style. We took up the staff form as a means for self defense in daily life, for a staff (long or short) is easier to have at hand then a sword or a saber :)

Prerequisite for participating in staff class is a rock solid skill in the first part of the long form, or of half of the short form.

Normal 46 € / Month- 130 € / Quarter
Reduced 38 € / Month - 105 € / Quarter

One training session lasts 60 minutes

Saber form

If I had to advise for only one weapon that one should train, it definitely would be the saber - it is soooo snake stylish *bg*. Floating, weaving in and out, fast and  round, ruthless and precise, this weapon form has a great feedback into the normal empty hand forms and really boosts the practitioner forward in his tai chi skills.

Prerequisite for participating in saber class is a rock solid skill in the first part of the long form, or of half of the short form.

Normal 46 € / Month- 130 € / Quarter
Reduced 38 € / Month - 105 € / Quarter

One training session lasts 60 minutes

---

Sword Form

The sword form is a bit longer than the saber form, and also done slower than the saber.

It is a straight bladed weapon that is more difficult to integrate into a round an flowing set of moves, so I advise learning the saber beforehand - but alas, if one does not like to work the saber, let´s start with the sword then.

Prerequisite for participating in sword class is a rock solid skill in the first part of the long form, or of half of the short form.

Normal 46 € / Month- 130 € / Quarter
Reduced 38 € / Month - 105 € / Quarter

One training session lasts 60 minutes
