Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese martial art. This slow meditative practice strengthens the body, improves balance and relaxes the mind. Originally developed for self defense Tai Chi is now practiced the world over for health and relaxation. The flowing motion of Tai Chi Chuan helps to integrate motion throughout the practitioners body. The emphasis on balance and connection to the ground improves overall stability. Chi Kung and breath work strengthens internal organs, tendons and bones.

   Bagua Chuan is an advanced internal fighting method. Bagua focuses on internal strength and core power development. Spiraling motion, superior position and leverage are what make this martial art truly unique. In addition to traditional forms, drills and basics this class will include self-defense application and weapons.

   Once used by the Chinese imperial body guard the twisting turning movements of this style make it ideal for multiple attack and protection situations. These twisting spiraling motions open the joints and make the practitioners body more supple and responsive.

   This is an ongoing class open to beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Classes will include elements of other internal methods including, Hsing-i & Yi-chuan. Integrated movement, structure and how they relate to spinal health will also be explored.
