Click to see a short video introduction to T'ai Chi Chuan.
Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient exercise which embodies China's most profound concepts and principles of health and movement.
Based on softness and awareness (rather than force and resistance) T'ai Chi Chuan (also referred to as Tai Chi, Tai Ji, or Taijiquan) has been recognized for thousands of years as both a method of self-cultivation and an unexcelled form of self defense.
Practiced at a slow and even speed, Tai Chi promotes relaxation, straight posture, and balance.
T'ai Chi movements are widely acknowledged to help calm the emotions, focus the mind, and strengthen the immune system. In a very real sense, T'ai Chi helps us to stay younger as we grow older, thus making an outstanding contribution to our overall health and well-being.
