International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
November 13, 2024 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Learn International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan with Leslie Kannon at LACA!
Wednesdays starting Nov. 13 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. (Nov. 13, Nov. 20, Nov. 27, Dec. 4, Dec. 11, and Dec. 18)
This class is designed for students 12 years old to adults. Registration for the six-week season is $50 for LACA members and $60 for non-members. Students who have already completed the six-week session are invited to join the class to practice! Drop-in fees for LACA members is $9 and for non-members is $12.
Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced as a "form," a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles. This class presents the movements and relaxed flow of the Tai Chi form from one posture to the next. Each class begins with a review of the previous one, then goes on to the new position.
The entire sequence of movements are taught, where the hands go, where the feet go, and the principles (softness, straightness, relaxation) that makes doing the movements worthwhile. Each class includes demonstrations, lots of practice repetitions, hands-on adjustments, and verbal guidance. Kannon suggests wearing loose fitting clothing, bringing a water bottle, and to practice at home between classes.

International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
November 20, 2024 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Learn International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan with Leslie Kannon at LACA!
Wednesdays starting Nov. 13 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. (Nov. 13, Nov. 20, Nov. 27, Dec. 4, Dec. 11, and Dec. 18)
This class is designed for students 12 years old to adults. Registration for the six-week season is $50 for LACA members and $60 for non-members. Students who have already completed the six-week session are invited to join the class to practice! Drop-in fees for LACA members is $9 and for non-members is $12.
Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced as a "form," a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles. This class presents the movements and relaxed flow of the Tai Chi form from one posture to the next. Each class begins with a review of the previous one, then goes on to the new position.
The entire sequence of movements are taught, where the hands go, where the feet go, and the principles (softness, straightness, relaxation) that makes doing the movements worthwhile. Each class includes demonstrations, lots of practice repetitions, hands-on adjustments, and verbal guidance. Kannon suggests wearing loose fitting clothing, bringing a water bottle, and to practice at home between classes.

International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan w/ Leslie Kannon
November 27, 2024 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Learn International Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan with Leslie Kannon at LACA!
Wednesdays starting Nov. 13 from 6 - 7:30 p.m. (Nov. 13, Nov. 20, Nov. 27, Dec. 4, Dec. 11, and Dec. 18)
This class is designed for students 12 years old to adults. Registration for the six-week season is $50 for LACA members and $60 for non-members. Students who have already completed the six-week session are invited to join the class to practice! Drop-in fees for LACA members is $9 and for non-members is $12.
Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan is practiced as a "form," a well-defined sequence of movements that flows from one posture to the next according to underlying principles. This class presents the movements and relaxed flow of the Tai Chi form from one posture to the next. Each class begins with a review of the previous one, then goes on to the new position.
The entire sequence of movements are taught, where the hands go, where the feet go, and the principles (softness, straightness, relaxation) that makes doing the movements worthwhile. Each class includes demonstrations, lots of practice repetitions, hands-on adjustments, and verbal guidance. Kannon suggests wearing loose fitting clothing, bringing a water bottle, and to practice at home between classes.
