TAI JI QUAN – BASICS – FIRST PART

Master Roberto Benetti, together with Franca Rizzi and Francesca Montanari, presents the first of a series of didactic videos, showing some fundamental exercises for a correct training in the practice of Tai Ji Quan.
This first video deals with the basic body structure in its three fundamental components, upper, central and lower, both under the static and the dynamic point of view (the steps). These trainings originate from those of Yang style Tai Ji Quan, but can be taken as a base reference for any Tai Ji Quan style.

24 FORM – YANG STYLE

In this video Master Roberto Benetti, together with Franca Rizzi, presents the 24 form of Yang style Tai Ji Quan.
