*Friday Morning Classes Indoors Today*

In typical New England fashion, the weather changed over night and has left the grass much wetter than expected. We will therefore hold our morning classes indoors at Internal Arts New England today, Friday 8/21.

We apologize for any confusion and hope to see you in the studio this morning.

We apologize, but we will be unable to hold our regular classes this coming Wednesday (8/12) at 6:00pm (Morning classes will still meet). Our Friday morning classes for this week (8/14) are also canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience, but hope that you will join us at any of the other classes meeting this week.

Also, please note that the Wednesday morning class in Hamilton will meet at The Community House at 9:15 this week.

Join the 10:30 AM class on 8/12 to get your practice in. Alternatively, the Short form classes on Thursday 8/13 at 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM are running as scheduled. See you soon!

To our surprise, a photo of instructor Stacie Bowman and student Steve Gosselin was captured by Newburyport News while they demonstrated a portion of Master Shan Gui Wen’s Wudang Taijiquan form for Sifu Paul.

The caption read: “A Great Bay Tai Chi demonstration on the Custom House Maritime Museum’s back lawn in Newburyport drew dozens of curious onlookers Friday morning.”

Lead instructor Austin Murray demonstrated Chin Na (seize and control) applications for Sifu Paul during Great Bay Tai Chi's 30th Anniversary Celebration.

Here, Austin demonstrates a Chin Na joint-lock application from the Tai Chi posture Parting the Wild Horse's Mane with student Steve Gosselin. The techniques of seizing and controlling an opponent reveal the martial applications hidden within Tai Chi movements, demonstrating how these forms can be applied as practical and effective self-defense techniques.
