Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a martial arts therapy for the purposes of health and longevity, and recent medical studies support its effectiveness. Traditional T'ai Chi training is intended to teach awareness of one's own balance and what affects it, awareness of the same in others, an appreciation of the practical value in one's ability to moderate extremes of behavior and attitude at both mental and physical levels, and how this applies to effective self-defense principles. Our classes are taught for Beginners, as well as for those suffering from Arthritis who need softer exercises to help them heal.
