About Tai Chi

Tai Chi is practised softly with emphasis on building health and chi but also has it’s roots in self defence application.

It is a gentle flowing series of choreographed movements that enhance health. Movements that work on the 12 meridians, the eight vessels and the five elements to enhance health. To do Tai Chi correctly needs lots of practise as it’s not as easy as it looks. More practise – better health.

The concentration of practising Tai Chi gives us much needed time out and creates calmness and peace of mind. As a form of stress management, Tai Chi has no rival. Tai Chi relieves stress and tension by invoking a sense of tranquillity in the mind along with introducing a healthier state of body at the same time.  Think of it as ‘active meditation’ – great for people who struggle with traditional meditation.

As the movements are natural and not forced, the entire body is exercised evenly, enhancing better metabolism, youthfulness, toning of the nerves and increasing the effectiveness of breathing and good blood circulation. Each movement has self-defence applications as well.  We focus on both the health and self-defence application of the movements.
