Tai Chi Chuan or the Grand Ultimate Fist – this ultimate Tai Chi program trains all three aspects of our being; physical, mental and spiritual. Let’s not forget where it originated and for what purpose. This ancient, magical and healing Martial Art focuses on the whole being and works from the inside out.
With its continuous flowing movements that strengthen the body, improves body co-ordination and balance together with its breath awareness and flexibility, teaches us to be in the moment.
Following the theory of Yin and Yang, hard and soft, our program can be practiced slow or fast for a cardiovascular workout once the movements have been learned and perfected slowly.
Tai Chi Chuan has been practiced in China for thousands of years for fitness as well as relaxation. The versatility of this art lends itself to both aspects of training and is now becoming one of the most popular exercise routines around the world.
There’s a misconception that Tai Chi is only for the elderly but it is in fact practiced by people of all ages and fitness levels. It is also used for rehabilitation and therapeutic benefits. An ideal exercise for those wanting to learn more about energy medicine and experience the body’s natural ability to heal and correct energy imbalances and clear blockages.
Practicing Tai Chi Chuan as a Martial Art is no different from any other style of self defense with its emphasis on strikes, blocks, punches, kicks, locks etc. and the ability to adapt to change.
Experience the flow of Chi.
