Yang Tai Chi
Students practice the forward moving stepping pattern of Yang style Tai Chi.
Traditional Chinese martial arts like Tai Chi aren't about breaking boards. They aren't about breaking bricks. Tai Chi is an art of movement and energy--rising, falling, turning, and circling. It is practiced in slow, gentle movements. We like to say that Tai Chi is the art of the movement of energy, and the shifting of weight from rear to forward, forward to rear.
Tai Chi means Grand Ultimate--in other words, Tai Chi is the grand ultimate martial art. The benefits derived from the low impact, internal style of Tai Chi can also be realized through the practice of Northern Dragon style Kung fu. These include increased strength in the core and legs, increased balance, coordination, flexibility, and joint health, and better circulation of Qi (energy) throughout the body.
Here are five reasons to add traditional Chinese martial arts, such as Tai Chi, to your life as a daily practice:
*When used to supplement traditional forms of treatment, it helps prevent and fight disease.
*It's as beneficial for the mind as it is for the body.
*It can help you age gracefully.
*It can teach you how to slow down -- and how to let go.
*It's accessible to almost anyone.
