Tai Chi Chung
Tai Chi is a soft martial art style, developed in the southern parts of China, that is sometimes described as moving meditation. The offensive and defensive elements of the style are almost hidden within the smooth, graceful movements. By challenging the body to move slowly, practitioners build balance, body control, flexibility, and strength in addition to the mental calm developed through timing the breathe with the movements of the body.
While there are many variations of Tai Chi, they all seek to replicate movements from nature such as the swaying of willow branches in a gentle breeze or clouds slowly changing shape or form.
In Tai Chi, the movements that are so varied that they incorporate every part of the body with harmonious design and graceful patterns. Each form flows into the next, gracefully replicating the movements of nature, such as the swaying of willow branches in a gentle breeze, or clouds slowly changing in shape or form. The movements are performed slowly without using force, with the speed of your breathing matching the speed of your movement. Tai Chi Chung develops inner strength, mental calmness, physical well-being, and overall health, as well as a less stressed mind.
