What is Tai Chi?

Tai Chi is meditation in motion. It soothes the nerves and calms the mind as it induces good physical and emotional conditioning. Movements are slow and gentle, with each part of the body in continuous motion. The basis of Tai Chi is the "routine" which is a series of linked movements. The routine is learned a movement at a time, then joined to the previous movements. In this way you will find Tai Chi lessons stimulating and rewarding as you progress. The Beijing 24 is usually the first routine you will learn. It has 24 linked moves that flow in a slow graceful manner from the beginning to the end. Once bare hand routines are mastered there are weapon routines like the straight sword or fan routines to learn. Tai Chi can provide a lifetime of learning and good health.
