On 7 February in the Martial Academy in Plovdiv was the first Yang Тaichicuan workshop of the Association for 2009. More than twenty people (instructors and regular members) from Sofia, Plovdiv, Burgas and Stara Zagora came to the seminar. Kamen Atanasov from Stara Zagora and his group of Taichi practitioners were first time participants in an YSTAB event. Shifu Stanislav Bagalev began the workshop with the regular warm up combined with Jibengong. Special attention was paid to the biomechanics of the transition movements between the basic leg stances.

During the second part of the workshop the participants were divided on two – Shifu Krasimir Dimitrov worked with Taichi centre Plovdiv and a big group of novices in the main hall of the Academy.

The lesson’s aim was to bridge the basic principles, the structure of the body and the philosophy of Taijiquan. Shifu Bagalev was in the big hall of the Academy with the instructors, junior instructors and advanced students. He reviewed the first and second part of the form, which allowed everyone to correct and equalize their practice. Then they had the opportunity to test their skills in free Tuishou.
