The Ottawa Tai Chi Meetup

This group will be an opportunity to meet others interested in Tai Chi practice, to exhange ideas. This group will appeal to novice and intermediate taiji players who will be interested in learning a standard taiji form based on the taiji curriculum developed by Sam Masich (check out his web site).

The group will focus on actual practice and should evolve into a practice group that will incorporate qiqong, taiji and push hands forms.

We will be able to use extensive audio visual materials to increase our understanding of the forms and some of us will be able to attend local workshops given by Sam himself on his yearly stops in Ottawa/Gatineau. Also, we might be able to get a very good local instructor to provide some occassional workshops.

Established taiji players who are not interested in learning the Sam Masich curriculum will not likely benefit from this group.

One of our initial tasks will be to locate a suitable practice venue and draw up a schedule of meetings.
