Yang Tai Chi Chuan
In English, Tai Chi roughly translates to "Supreme Ultimate." It is considered a martial art, but unlike most combative styles, Tai Chi is based on fluidity and circular movements.
Tai Chi masters say that this gentle dance develops the flexibility of a child, the strength of a lumberjack and, eventually, the wisdom of a sage.
The main principle of Tai Chi is that with the "soft" strength, you restrain the opponent's "hard" strength and use it against them. Tai Chi is therefore very effective in actual combat.
Tai Chi is suitable for everyone, from children to the elderly. Practicing Tai Chi is very useful for improving strength and balance, relieving physical ailments, cultivating moral character, and overall prolonging life. Seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those recovering from illnesses and injuries will benefit from Tai Chi’s gentle movements, as well as the Chi Gong we incorporate into each class. Chi Gong is energy and breath work.
