A five-day workshop for beginners and advanced students on one of the most famous and beautiful weapons in Tai Chi Chuan: the staff (also known as the bo or stuff).
Originally used as a walking stick and tool by monks, travelers, and farmers—who were frequently attacked by thieves or imperial soldiers—it evolved over the years into a defensive weapon. Gradually, its effectiveness increased through the development of specific movements, and it soon became an integral part of every Kung Fu style.
