Our Approach
Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese martial art that promotes well-being by circulating the chi of the body through a series of slow, relaxing movements that teaches the Yang-style short form as developed by Cheng Man Ching. A round takes 7-10 minutes to perform and requires no special equipment or clothing.
Practicing Tai Chi helps replenish energy reserves, improves balance, loosens tight muscles and brings more flexibility to joints and ligaments. It is a cardiovascular and weight-bearing exercise.
Tai Chi leaves one feeling more relaxed, calm, and in a pleasant mood.
“Whoever practices Tai-chi Chuan, correctly and regularly, twice a day over a period of time will gain the pliability of a child, the health of a lumberjack, and the peace of mind of a sage.” - Professor Cheng Man-Ch’ing
