Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese system of movement for health and self defense. Dating back to approx. 1200 A.D. and based on writings from the I Ching this exercise is suitable for everyone, both young and old. It needs no special equipment, can be practiced anywhere in a minimum amount of space and is easy to learn.

Consisting of 108 movements practiced in a slow relaxed manner, Tai Chi helps make the body strong and promotes total relaxation which allows the free circulation of blood to all parts of the body. it helps make the internal organs strong and the mind clear, all of this contributing to good health.

Thought not easily apparent from watching the slow form, Tai Chi is also a martial art, albeit one different from most styles. It relies on internal power - a power that begins softly to catch the opponent, but then becomes very strong - like an unseen wind with the power to uproot a tree, or a wave with the hidden power to sink a ship. proficiency in the martial aspects of Tai Chi, as in all styles of Kung Fu requires practice and time.
