Zhang Yun and Zhao Zeren: 21-22 May, Washington DC

There is an upcoming Northern Wu Style Taijiquan seminar in Silver Spring, MD, on 21-22 May, hosted at Capital Aikikai:

Quote:
Master Zhang Yun and his colleague, and special visiting guest, YCGF Master Zhao Zeren, will cover empty-hand Taiji form and application, Taiji push hands training, the fighting principles of Taijiquan, and some Neigong (Qigong) exercises as passed down from the late Wu Style Taijiquan Grandmaster Wang Peisheng. This special seminar tour demonstration represents a unique opportunity for American Taiji practitioners to meet Master Zhao, who is recognized as one of the best Taijiquan Masters in all of China.
This style of Taijiquan is known for its focus on internal principles and fighting applications. From my experience, several Aikidoka and Jujutsu practitioners have enjoyed and benefited greatly from exposure to the Wu Style of Wang Peisheng. This is a three city tour (Princeton, Pittsburgh, Washington) of Zhao Zeren, who is a very accomplished practitioner of internal martial arts.

different training. Different postures, for example, will be chosen for form training in each seminar,
and different two-person drills will be used for push hands training. Master Zhang and Master Zhao
will answer and discuss all the different kinds of internal martial arts questions raised by the varied
groups of participants at each seminar.
