Change Skill is a martial arts school located in Coburg, Melbourne, Australia that specialises in teaching Tai Chi Chuan. Tai Chi Chuan is a traditional Chinese internal martial art known for its health benefits and combat techniques. The school follows the Wudang style of Tai Chi Chuan, as transmitted by the late Master Cheng Tin Hung and taught by Master Dan Docherty.
At Change Skill, the focus is on the form and function of Tai Chi Chuan. The art is not only a system of well-being but also a proven combat system for those who are interested in pursuing that path. The health aspects of the art are based on the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine and have similarities to Chi kung (Qigong). Practising Tai Chi Chuan can help individuals develop calmness, vitality, and the ability to handle difficult situations and people in all aspects of life.
The philosophical and cultural underpinnings of Tai Chi Chuan are extensive, but the basic idea revolves around understanding the concept of Yin and Yang and learning how to transition between the two. It is a practise that focuses on finding balance. In a martial context, the goal is to use the opponent's strength against them, much like water flowing around and eroding hard surfaces.
Change Skill welcomes people of all ages to join their classes. Depending on individual preferences and goals, practitioners can choose to focus more on the health exercises or the martial arts training. The art lineage comes from Master Cheng Tin Hung, who taught and practised in Hong Kong until his passing in 2005. Cheng's style was hailed by the press as “practical for health and practical for self-defence.
” He was even given the nickname “Tai chi bodyguard. ” The style is closely related to the southern Wu family style but is uniquely referred to as the “Wudang” style, named after the famous mountain.
Master Dan Docherty inherited the art from Master Cheng Tin Hung and continues to pass down the teachings at Change Skill. Today, the names “Practical” and “Wudang” have been used by other styles of Tai Chi as well.
