New Chen style taijiquan classes

Just FYI, Madam Ge Chun Yan will be starting new Chen style taiji classes in the new year:

• Chen Style XinYi HunYuan Taichi 24 steps and HunYuan NeiGong, 22 Jan 2007, 7.30pm to 9pm. Classes last 5 months, and cost S$450.
• Chen Style Taichi Second Routine:Cannon Fist (First Half). This class also begins on 22 Jan. The price is S$400, and the course also lasts 5 months.

I’m tempted – I studied Chen style for a short while in Beijing, and it’s really different to the Yang style derivatives I’m more familiar with. I have a feeling that its fluidity, and alternation of soft and explosive power, may make it easier to study alongside bagua. Or maybe I should stop getting distracted (ooh! shiny!) and just keep focused…
