THE ART

Briefly stated with practice T'ai Chi yields the ability to relax at a very deep level, improves the natural flow of energy (or ch'i, as named by the Chinese), and provides the basis for maintaining good health.

THE CLASS

Each class begins with a set of five warmups that help to develop balance, flexibility and mental concentration.
This is followed by practice of the 'short form' (Cheng Man Ch'ing's 37 posture Yang form): a sequence of postures linked together to create one graceful movement lasting about twenty minutes. It usually takes a beginning student about nine months to learn this form.

While learning the short form, students will be introduced to 'pushing hands':
two person exercises that further develop balance and flexibility.
The short from represents a complete system of T'ai Chi practice. However, if students are keen to further their study, there are also other, more advanced froms taught.
