Tai Chi Chuan (Supreme Ultimate Fist) is an ancient Chinese martial art that in modern times has become misunderstood as only a wellness practice. Better understanding the martial roots of the arts, as well as the underlying philosophical and energetic concepts of Yin and Yang, substantial and insubstantial, and Yang's Principles, will lead to better Tai Chi Chuan practice. This will open the door to better core strength, balance, coordination, mental centeredness, and other improvements to overall wellness.
Flat shoes and loose fitting clothing that wicks sweat are recommended. While rigorous, the nature of the gentle movements makes the curriculum appropriate for all ages and most individuals, regardless of health status. This class is open to both beginners and those who have taken a Tai Chi Chuan class with the Center for Wellness before.
