There will be arranged two broadsword (Dao) seminars in Kung Fu and Taiji Quan/Qi Gong saturday 29. and sunday 30. march 2025.
Matteo Pepe-Espert will be the instructor.
The program will be as follows:
Saturday, March 29 from 9:30 to 16:00 (with one hour lunch break): Kung Fu – Changquan 32 Step Broadsword. This choreography is a classic of the Chang Quan style in the practice of the broad sword, and an excellent way to learn or consolidate your basics in the handling of this weapon.
Sunday, March 30 from 9:30 to 16:00 (with one hour lunch break): Qi Gong – Yangsheng Taijdao – 养生太极刀. This choreography is one of the long forms of Dao Yin Yangsheng Gong directly inspired by Taiji Quan. If the primary goal of this choreography is to preserve health, it also allows the practice of the broad sword in the spirit of Taiji Quan.
Price for each seminar: 750 NOK
Price for the weekend: 1200 NOK
Registrations will be opened at the beginning of March.
The location of each course will be sent to all participants a few days before the seminars.
Remember to bring your own lunch.
These seminars are open and accessible to everyone, regardless of their level of practice. Feel free to talk about them around you. At the end of each seminar, 45 minutes will be reserved for instructors and most advanced students.
To participate in these seminars, you will need a broad sword. If you want to buy one, I have ordered 20, each with a protective cover that is easy to carry. Each of them costs 700 NOK. You can of course buy your broad sword elsewhere if you prefer.
I hope we will be many to attend these seminars, as we will continue working with the material learned that weekend during our regular classes afterwards.
