About the class
Suang Yang is similar to T'ai Chi. You will probably have seen images of people practising slow, flowing movements in parks. This is very much what Suang Yang is like. It is a martial art, a health exercise, and a form of moving meditation.

Barbican YMCA is roughly two minutes walk from Barbican Tube Station, on the intersection of Fann Street and Aldersgate Street. There is limited street parking. Please report to reception and sign in on arrival.
What am I going to learn?
The main portion of the Suang Yang class is spent learning the 66-movement form. Generally this takes a regular attendee around a year to learn, and on average you will learn one movement per week. Pushing hands and applications of the form are also covered in the classes, as well as some basic QiGong movements, and some light meditation.
So can anyone join in?
Complete beginners are always welcome. The class is for adults, but children are welcome to attend. If you have any injuries, or anything else which may affect your training, it is important to discuss this with the instructor at the beginning of the class, and we can discuss how to work round this. It is always possible to cut certain exercises and movements out of your training to suit individual needs.
