Malta Chen Taijiquan Association certified instructors Richard Galea Debono and Conrad Laus will be attending a Taijiquan Self Defense (TSD) seminar for Instructors organized by the International Taijiquan Kungfu Association (ITKA). The seminar will be held at the ITKA school in Massanunziata (Italy) between the 16th and 18th of December.
TSD System is a very practical self-defense system. It's characteristics are based on fundamental principles derived from Taijiquan, hence mental awareness, where movements are connected and sensitive. This simple system is very effective and realistic, and throughout TSD courses participants study various aspects of striking with different parts of the body, exercises to increase sensitivity, position shifting through various movements, simple but effective throwing techniques, ground fighting, locking and choking techniques. TSD makes practical use of all fundamental martial principles of Chen Family Taijiquan, hence attacking aggressors with a strong and decisive mind, making use of the whole body, listening of the opponent's force, following the opponent, letting go and being reactive.
