Marin Spivack, disciple of Chenyu, will come for a traditional Chen Taiji workshop this May.
Chen Taiji, despite popular opinion, is a rich, deadly and sometimes cruel martial art. Characterized by demanding structure, connected body, joint locks and explosive power (fa jin), it is nothing to joke about. Taiji as thought by Marin is the original and most authentic form, including every little bit of the art.
Marin is 20th generation lineage holder in Chen-style Taiji – the oldest and original form of the unique martial art. His teacher, Chenyu (grandson of Chen Fake), got the whole of the art from his father, starting at the age of 7.
The workshop will be a focused training workshop, and as such intended for those interested in a long-term study of an authentic Chinese martial art.
Attendance is by application only. Be aware that the training is extremely challenging, and is not watered down for commercial purposes. Therefore, apply only if you’re serious. To assure a high-quality experience, a cap of 18 students is set for the workshop.
