Tai Chi Chuan is based off the physical energetic
methods of Sung (deep relaxation), and of Peng
(dynamic elasticity), functioning as the structure, in
all its postures and techniques. Through this
method, effortless power is issued and healing is
enhanced throughout the body. Our core
curriculum includes Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan
Forms, Yiquan Standing Meditation Postures, Silk
Reeling Exercises, Qi Gong Breathing Sets &
Push Hands Drills, to further develop internal
practice for health and self defense. We also offer
Baguazhang and Xingyiquan for intermediate
students.
