IMPERIAL BA GUA ZHANG SUMMER CAMP
among Sicily’s beautiful landscapes!
FROM THE 16TH TO THE 22ND OF AUGUST, 2015
INTRODUCTION
Our summer seminar is becoming a fundamental and regular appointment for our School that cannot be renounced. A chance to meet, share experiences, deepen relations and, above all, grow up.It is the only moment of the year during which students and teachers live together for some days,like in the traditional use of ancient China. This year, the event will be especially important for the news that it will introduce.
The whole week will be mainly dedicated to the study of techniques and exercises related to Ba Gua fight, without forgetting other equally important aspects, such as forms or fundamental exercises. Moreover, for the first time, we will work with the 9 poles (Ju Gong Bu), to improve the quality of our movement, develop the speed of our steps, flexibility, etc… There will be time to allow everyone, depending on his/her own level, to check, improve and strengthen the aspects that he/she prefers or hasn’t well assimilated, yet. In short, an opportunity you wouldn’t miss!
During the week we will hold the technical exams and deliver the associative cards. After passing a test, people who are interested in teaching will get the official certifications which are necessary to hold Ba Gua classes recognized by the School.
LOCATION & ACCOMODATION
We will stay in a private block of flats with swimming pool, rooms and open air space where we will practice in a calm context. The place doesn’t work as farm holidays or B&B, but it addresses a specific target, such as associations, meditation groups, and events that are related to Eastern disciplines. It offers high quality vegetarian cooking and accommodation in bedrooms for 2-4 guests. It’s located just outside the small town of Solarino, a few kilometers from Syracuse, from which you can move by car and reach, in a very short time, the beautiful beaches and the pure nature of Pantalica’s reserve.
