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.
