 |
|
Our work is hosting a qigong instructor for a couple of introductory lessons. She claims to have studied Kuang Ping style of tai chi. I was wondering if anyone has heard of this style and if it's a variation of one of the major family trees of tai chi(Yang, Chen, Wu, ect.), or something else.

Huh, I have not heard of this style. Heck, I didn't know there were multiple styles of Tai Chi! Oh well, learn something new everyday, huh? 
I hope you enjoy the clinics. Let us know what you find out.

Someone drifted through my town a while back, but moved a few months later after lack of popularity. I'm afraid I know just that is exists. :/

Through doing some research I've found it's part of the yang family system also known as guang ping. However, most of the things I've read about it talk about how it's the "secret" master system of yang style tai chi and also the most martial oriented. I always get nervous when instructors throw the word "secret" around.

I hear you there. Big turn off for me.

I've heard that before, "secret" techniques, etc. That is a major cause for concern. I just move on whenever I encounter it.

Well, after taking a class from her, I found her one of those "average" instructors... a little more on the holistic side than the martial side, but at least she had legitimate knowledge, not just someone who has taken dance and thinks they can fake a martial art. I'm torn between going to support my workplace bringing in this sort of class and just going to karate. (There's a class time at the same time as the qigong)

I would say that you should do what is best for you. If that is karate, then do karate.
