Tai Ji Quan

Tai Ji Quan, popularly referred to as “Tai Chi” is the most widely known of the Internal Arts of ancient China. The most debilitating illnesses in the world today are directly attributable to stress. Study after study has proven that Tai Chi reduces stress in a quantifiable manner.

Training in the martial art of Tai Chi also improves balance. Injuries caused by slipping, falling, bad posture, etc. can have debilitating consequences on one’s physical health both immediate and long term.

An integral part of authentic Tai Chi is Yin Yang theory and acupoints of Chinese medicine. Throughout our curriculum you learn about the theory of Yin Yang and how to apply it to your daily life. We also teach you to locate specific acupoints used in Tai Chi and expand on the health benefits of those points.

In Tai Ji Quan, like negative and positive terminals support the flow of electricity, Yin and Yang cooperate to support the flow of vitality – a balance between mind and movement, between stability and flexibility. A series of ideas leads to a series of feelings; thus movements, comfortable and natural for adults of all ages, are expressed correctly from within. Beginning slowly, deliberately, calmly and quietly, then gradually more fluently and freely, the practicing of Tai Ji Quan synthesizes mental development, develops vitality exercises, and integrates practical skills of balance with subtle martial arts of the highest level.

Introducing and expanding on these principles teaches our students to Relax, Energize & Balance
