T'AI CHI CH'UAN (tai ji quan) T'ai Chi Ch'uan is a "health promoting" Martial art that combines martial arts movements with chi (life force) energy circulation, breathing, and stretching techniques. The training of T'ai Chi includes the integration of mind, chi, body and spirit.. The same techniques that were capable of developing internal power for combat have proved to be effective as life prolonging, healing and rejuvenating exercises. The movements are relaxing yet stimulating. T'ai Chi Ch'uan translates as "supreme ultimate fist." It is a rarely understood form of Chinese martial art. Renowned for its health benefits, T'ai Chi Ch'uan has spread throughout the world as a health creating exercise. It is recognized by the medical community as being helpful for stress, and has been used in therapy programs for patients with Multiple Sclerosis and other ailments. You don't have to be ill to benefit from T'ai Chi Ch'uan. We believe that the full benefits of this art can only be experienced if taught with a full understanding of how to use it as a martial art. That is why we teach you the complete art of T'ai Chi Ch'uan. |
