2012 TCQC Foundation Course
Meet the 2012 TCQC Foundation Course now half way through their 11 week course with their senior instructor Mitzi Orr. They are a very keen class and willing to learn showing great tai chi qigong potential but also finding learning can be fun.

Figure 1
I was asked the other day to explain what is meant by ‘Qigong Hands’. This is a term used at the TCQC to explain the position of the hands when practicing Qigong (Chi Kung). The hands should always be open and relaxed (sung), ensure the fingers are separated and the palms of both hands take up a concave position (see photos). Figure 1 shows the position of the Laogong accupoint. This point is duplicated in both hands.
Figure 2
Fig 2 simply shows the back of the hand to demonstrate the Qigong Hand as viewed from the back.
As most of our followers know the Tai Chi Qigong Centre have supported Guide Dogs for the Blind as our chosen charity for some years now sponsoring puppies and taking part in fund raising raffles to help finance the training of these marvellous dogs.
At long last I have found time to post the latest pupdate news letter for ‘Misty’ who we currently sponsor: ……………… Misty spent her Christmas holidays with her new boarder Elaine and her family. We look forward to finding out how she’s settled into Guide Dog Training School in her next Pupdate due out at the end of January!
I often receive emails asking for advice and guidance here’s one of them: (first published January 2010).
Enquiry:
Some of the exercises of Shibashi Tai Chi which involve twisting of the spine for example gazing at the moon aggravates my left sciatic nerve causing pain in this area. Is it OK to skip such exercises and do the rest? Can I do more repetitions of these exercises than the others?

One off the best pictures from our last night at the club – Christmas 2011. More on the way………..
Club last night
Now that all the furore of Christmas is over it’s about time I said a big thank you to Helen Martin of Spirit Haven in Great Yarmouth for her support while I briefly stayed over at the James Paget Hospital in late November (bed & breakfast).
I’m sure the placement of her healing gems played an important part in my swift recovery as the specialist was surprised I was out the following day. I also know that my own healing Qi played an important part with Mitzi’s overseeing caring support against all odds. Not forgetting ‘all’ club members thoughtful get well wishes, especially the assistant instructors who kept the club wheels turning during my rehabilitation.
Hi Everyone.
Hope you all had a good Christmas break. Mitzi and I look forward to seeing you all for the start of the new year term starting 11th January at Cliff Park Junior School, usual time 7pm – 9pm. Doors open 6pm for social and free time practice.
The 2 hour Monday morning Tai Chi Club opens on 9th January, start time 10:30am sharp at the Methodist Church Hall, Magdalen Way, Gorleston
