Tai Chi

The practices that are known as Tai chi (or Taiji) evolved in China as a form of internal martial art. In the west today they may be practised either as a martial art, or as a way of maintaining physical coordination & flexibility as well as internal health. Both approaches have significant and well-researched health benefits even at an introductory level.

You will learn traditional Tai Chi forms and moving meditation (breathing techniques combine with forms), as well as how to put those forms into practical self defence techniques. In addition, you also learn history and philosophy of chinese martial arts and learn to speak a wee bit of mandarin.
