Classes
Class Sessions
The AEA Tai Chi Club will be offering the following internal martial arts classes with Master Su in the May - September timeframe. Specifics will follow in separate email announcements for each of the classes. All sessions start @ 11:30 AM at Del Aire Park.
May - August Traditional Bagua Zhang Class with Master Su (16 sessions on TUESDAYS) $80/person for current club members *
We learned the 8 routines of Traditional Bagua Zhang already. This would be the same 8 routines but on the 'other side' going in the 'other direction.' We would also continue to practice and improve what we learned already. The goal is to be comfortable practicing the 8 routines on 'both sides' and going in 'both directions.' In these 16 sessions of class, Master Su advises covering the first 4 routines and assess feedback from students from continuing. Finishing the last 4 routines in Traditional Bagua Zhang will require an additional 16 sessions. Total to learn all 8 routines on 'both sides' and going in 'both directions' will require a total of 32 sessions.
May - September Traditional Tai Chi Long Form Class with Master Su (22 sessions on WEDNESDAYS) $110/person for current club members *
We will resume learning the remaining 72 forms of Tai Chi Long Form with Master Su in 22 sessions. New forms will include high kicks and low forms. The remaining 72 forms will also include repetition of some of the 36 forms that we learned earlier but in different sequences. Prior knowledge of the first 36 forms is required since this is a continuation class.
May - August New Tai Chi 32-Form Sword Class with Master Su (THURSDAYS; 24 Sessions Total. $120/person student payment. *
Tai Chi 32-Form Sword is the next level of sword weapons class after Tai Chi 16-Form Sword. Previous experience with Tai Chi 16-Form Sword is helpful but not required. However, because Tai Chi Weapons is based on the fundamentals of Tai Chi, prior experience with Tai Chi is required.
NOTES
* IMPORTANT: Class fee is based on 15 students. If less than 15 students, then class fee will be higher. Exact fee TBD.
* Non-members would need to sign up and pay annual club membership in addition to the class fee. Annual membership fee is $15 (Aerospace/Air Force)/ $20 (All Others). Current annual membership covers 10/1/09 - 9/30/10.

Workshops
From time to time, the AEA Club Tai Chi Club puts on workshops. These workshops have featured world famous teachers such as Chen style family member Chen Xiao Wang, Push Hands specialist Dan Ethan Miller and Sam Tam (who was featured in a recent book on Yiquan). We have had workshops from our group and club founders, Alan Kan and Stephen Tang. We have also had workshops from several Los Angeles area instructors, including Jason Tsou, Gerald A. Sharp, Daniel Lee, Su Dong Chen, and Daniel Weng. More workshops are planned soon. (Add your name to our e-mail list to find out more about upcoming workshops by e-mail. We are happy to remove your name from our list if you ask us and we have no intention of sharing your information with anyone else.)

We are located in the Los Angeles California area. A lot goes on in our region, and it would be nice if the AEA Tai Chi club website could help provide a bulletin board. We are starting with announcing the workshops of local area instructors that have had some interaction with our club. We hope to eventually provide a similar function for a larger community.
