The "UHT Tai Ch Chi Kung 5 - Cane Stick Slow Form (Walking Stick), chin. Tuan Kune
"Tuan Kune" is also the highest of the highest, it strengthens the weak, lifts the spirit, revitalizes the weak and encourages the timid.
The "UHT Tai Ch Chi Kung 5 - Cane Stick Slow Form" is the fifth Tai Chi form in the Universal Healing Tao® system of GM Mantak Chia
- The footwork in the stick form is similar to the Tai Chi 1 form and is therefore easy to learn.
- This form, like the others, uses all the basic practices and incorporates the fundamentals of Iron Shirt, Microcosmic Orbit Meditation and Fa Jin.
- Its main purpose is to develop health and well-being, with the specifics of strength, flexibility and coordination.
- Of course, like most Tai Chi forms, it is considered the "supreme ultimate" as it involves coordination between body and mind. But beyond standard Tai Chi Chuan, it further develops and expands the mind to "become one with the stick".
- The form has a history, with connections and names based on high-level, immortal practice. Thus it transfers subliminal Taoist philosophical teachings directly to the body-mind.
- Nevertheless, it is also an effective weapon of defense. A weapon that can be carried on the streets today and need not be feared.
- The hook of the stick has applications of pulling down, catching and holding. While the shaft is used for blocking, striking and poking.
- One learns the inner skills of silk-wrapping energy, jumping and concealment.
- All of the above skills are transferable to any other similar stick or umbrella.
- It is a form for all ages, but preferred by those in their middle years.
- Students may learn this form as their first Tai Chi form, although the majority have practiced UHT Tai Chi 1 and 2.
Tai Chi for your vitality:
The main movements of this short stick form are performed with the joints & tendons. This makes the muscles elastic and loose and the body more flexible.
Tai Chi - Healing
In order to achieve self-healing, these energies must be recognized as thoughts, emotions and movements connected to us.
Tai Chi - the goal:
Heart and mind are the main centers of our strength. The "Tai Chi Cane Short Stick" is a form to achieve improved mental and physical centering, with a blissfully refreshed life energy.
A recommended reading for his courses is "Tai Chi Wu Style: Advanced Techniques for Internalizing Chi Energy," co-authored by Mantak Chia ®
