Whether your goal is enhancing your tai chi skills, improving your well-being, or you are simply interested in the internal arts, this class will provide a strong foundation for your practice. Instead of fixed sequential forms, the curriculum focuses more on the essential principles, fundamental drills, and practice methods. It provides a detailed study into effective methods of postural alignment, unified body use, and a coherent method of building health while uniting the mind and body. Explore a combination of fundamental trainings of major Chinese internal martial arts including Xingyiquan (Hsing Yi), Baguazhang (Pa Kua), and Taijiquan (Tai Chi). As an important addition, the Yiquan training system is also introduced.

Designed for all levels of experience.
