Toronto (Canada) 21 Form with Joshua Craig September 22-23, 2018

I Liq Chuan: Introduction to the “21 Form”

Pre-requisites: No previous experience is required to attend. This workshop is open to all participants! All concepts and principles will be reviewed.

Zhong Xin Dao I Liq Chuan foundation training includes two short forms, the “21 Form” and the “Butterfly Form”. The forms were designed as vehicles through which the student may learn to see, recognize and realize the principles of Nature in action.

The 21 Form teaches you to connect your body and to move in a smooth and continuous fashion. Whereas in the 15 Basic Exercises you learned to isolate and develop the Five Qualities, in the 21 Form you learn to change gears – to practice the Five Qualities in different combinations and sequences. Also known as the “Fullness Form”, the 21 Form provides you the opportunity to recognize the Six Directions and the Three Dimensions.

In this workshop we will review the 21 Form Choreography as well as look at applications for selected movements, highlighting the principles. This will be an ongoing series, designed to review applications for the entire sequence.
