SUMMARY:Beginner Hsing I -  Church of Christ
DESCRIPTION:Hsing-I Chuan (Form-Mind Boxing) has a hard\, angular external appearance\, but actually cultivates a “soft” internal strength. While appearing linear from the outside the Hsing-I practitioner is actually working with very compact circular movement. With proper practice the channels and meridians of the body are opened and strengthened and the organ systems are encouraged to work effectively. One becomes stronger\, more flexible\, more balanced\, with more energy both physically and mentally. Hsing-I prizes working within core principles rather that aesthetic values. \nPre-requisite: Continuing students who have completed at least two years of consistent Tai Chi 108 practice. \nInstructor: Ken1

SUMMARY:Beginner Hsing I -  Church of Christ
DESCRIPTION:Hsing-I Chuan (Form-Mind Boxing) has a hard\, angular external appearance\, but actually cultivates a “soft” internal strength. While appearing linear from the outside the Hsing-I practitioner is actually working with very compact circular movement. With proper practice the channels and meridians of the body are opened and strengthened and the organ systems are encouraged to work effectively. One becomes stronger\, more flexible\, more balanced\, with more energy both physically and mentally. Hsing-I prizes working within core principles rather that aesthetic values. \nPre-requisite: Continuing students who have completed at least two years of consistent Tai Chi 108 practice. \nInstructor: Ken1
