The workshops were held over three days, June 16th, 17th & 18th,beginning at 09:30 and ending about at 17:30 with an hour and a half for lunch. Sifu paced the six hours of training very well, and each day had its own theme.

The first day was essentially an all levels day with the emphasis on basic posture, and form correction. This focussed on basic training for practicing Tai Chi Chuan, and how attention to detail and basics pays benefits when practicing the form.

The second day was devoted entirely to pushing hands training. This moved from single hand push hands  through four corners, five centres, two hand push hands to the more complex stepping push hands such as 9 Palaces push hands. The training was interspersed with demonstrations of applications of forms relating the style of push hands.

The last day was given over to power generation and form applications, and the more martial side of tai chi chuan generally.
