Master Willy Lin (http://www.linkungfu.com/) will be coming to the
Annapolis area on Sunday, October 21 for two special workshops.
Master Lin was the first person to bring T'ien Shan P'ai Kung Fu to
the US and he is an expert in QinNa (Chin Na) and Push Hands. These
are both skills at the heart of Tai Chi and also skills with very
practical self-defense applications.

If you are a student of tai chi, these workshops will help take your
practice to a higher level. Many of the applications hidden in the
movements of forms practice are based on Qinna. Gaining an
understanding of these qinna techniques will give you useful skills
you can apply immediately and will help you identify other
applications that may be "hidden" in your forms. The push hands
practice will help you improve your balance, stability, footwork and
posture while demonstrating the importance of these attributes.

For kung fu students, other martial artists, or anyone interested in
self-defense, these workshops will be invaluable for giving you
practical techniques you can apply in a variety of situations and for
learning principles that will help improve your skill as a martial
artist no matter what style you study.

Master Lin has a wonderful teaching style and a friendly personality.
His push hands style is gentle, relying on position, timing and
leverage rather than force, but is nonetheless very effective! You
won't want to miss this training opportunity!

1:00 pm to 3:00 pm - Push Hands

$60 each or $100 for both workshops. Pay by credit card, cash or
