What is Tai Chi?
Tai Chi Chuan is an exercise
which embodies ancient China's most profound concepts and
principles. Practiced at a slow and even speed, the Tai Chi
form promotes relaxation, corrective posture and good sense
of balance while developing strength and coordination.
Tai Chi's application as a non-aggressive martial art is
bases on the principles of balance, timing, softness and
awareness, rather than force and resistance. As water can
overcome rock, so can these principles be used to overcome
brute strength? The movements calm a person's emotions and
focus the mind, helping to improve bodily functions and
prevent premature aging and disease. Over time, daily
practice of Tai Chi draws us closer to our essential nature
and produces a respectful attitude towards all life.
