The Full Traditional Tai Chi Path
Rooted in tradition. Built for real life.
This is Tai Chi as it was meant to be—structured, complete, and passed down through a living system.
Whether you train in person, learn from Ian’s books, or follow along with membership support, this is your path forward.
What You’ll Learn
The Five Aspects of Training
At Five Winds, we don’t teach fragments—we teach the whole art
Hand Forms
Square Form for precision, Round Form for fluidity
Weapons Forms
Sabre, Sword, and Spear taught for form and function
Pushing Hands
Eight unique solo and partner styles for control and sensitivity
Applications
Martial drills that make the form come alive
Internal Strength (Nei Gung)
Resilience, and inner power through private sets
Yielding
Learn to go with the flow—not fight it. You’ll redirect force instead of resisting it.
Adherence
Stay lightly connected, so you can feel what’s happening and respond in real time.
Spontaneity
Move without overthinking. Your body knows what to do—you just need to let it.
Softness
Use softness to undo tension—yours and theirs. It’s how Tai Chi wins without force.
Pushing Hands
Practice with a partner to put your skills into action—calmly, smoothly, and with control.
