Before you read any further, read this.

The Open Tai-Chi class held in Clover Park will now be taught in seminar format by Sifu during selected Saturdays as listed below. However, assistant instructors and other students will still be holding classes & practice sessions regularly every Saturday.

The monthly schedule for Sifu's classes will appear online in the SantaMonicaTaiChi Yahoo! Group calendar. If you would like to see the calendar, you must request membership in the Group. As always, this schedule is subject to change.

GENERAL INFO: The West LA or Santa Monica Tai-Chi class is located at Clover Park. Clover Park is on Ocean Park , between the intersections 25th & 28th Streets in Santa Monica, CA. We usually meet in the northeast corner of the park, right by the parking lot.

Look for us at the northeast corner of the park, and make sure to wear sunblock & bring your own water. During cooler weather, please dress in layers!

8 - 9:30am: OPEN CLASS - Chinese yoga, Chi Kung (Qigong) Fundamentals, Stance Building & (occasionally) Russian Kettlebell training, Yang style Tai-Chi long form (108 movements), Body Structuring & Postural Reformation

9:30 - 10:30am: INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED CLASS - Combat Applications & sensitivity drills, Tai-Chi Sword form, Hsing Jing - Please dress appropriately, as you may be rolling on the grass. Ladies, please have something to tie your hair up if needed.

*** If you or your organization would like to host such a class, e-mail Sifu Cheng at SifuMarkChengLAc@aol.com. ***

FEE: The fees and dues for this class are posted within the Yahoo Group, so join the group, and you'll find all the information there.

NOTE: The class is also subject to cancellation without any prior notice, and the class can be taught in ANY manner the head instructor sees fit.

WEATHER: In case of inclement weather or the threat thereof, class will be postponed until the next weekend. If you are uncertain about whether or not class is meeting due to poor weather, please err on the side of safety. If there was rain the night before and the ground may be soaked, there will not be class. If it's sprinkling intermittently, there is no class as the heavy moisture in the air is potentially damaging for those with weaker immune systems, or chi (qi) energy if you prefer. We don't spend our time learning healing arts so we can stand outside and get sick.
