For those who joined one or more of the intro to Tai Chi courses, you have learned the movements of Grasp the Sparrows Tail. Now it's time to move forward and that means stepping.

Concepts to be covered will be True empty stepping, storing energy through proper posture and much more. This will lead to a deeper understanding of direction, waist control and complete separation of Yin and Yang in the legs.

Guided by Tai-Chi expert Cain Yentzer, with 30 years of practice and teaching under his belt, participants can expect high levels of detail, correct guidance and answers to their questions.
