Shibashi 2

Shibashi 2 DVD is suitable and recommended for beginners! This DVD is performed by Grandmaster Gary Khor, each movement is performed and repeated 3 times showing you the details of how to step, place the foot and move the body along with the hands. The DVD is instructional with Grandmaster Khor’s voice over explaining the movements along with breathing techniques. This DVD goes together with the Shibashi I learning aid booklet as a visual to help you learn.

This DVD will give you the basic foundations of Tai Chi strengthening the muscles of the legs including the quadriceps, hamstrings, gastronemius muscles, glutes, upright postural alignment, breathing, weight transfer and meditation whilst moving.

Shibashi (十八式) literally means ’18 movements’ or techniques. The Shibashi exercises are modified by Grandmaster Gary Khor into a health plan, designed to cultivate relaxation and energy, and a gentle physical and mental workout for the whole human body. Shibashi 2 allows the student to have the same exposure to the basic principles of movement as Shibashi 1 but through a different series of movements and with a little more emphasis on balance and muscle toning. This second form thus provides a natural flow on from its forerunner for those students who wish to learn more about Qigong, or for those who feel they are still not ready to move on to the Tai Chi.
