Classical T’ai Chi Ch’uan Click

The Internal Exercise-Art of T’ai Chi Ch’uan is a Holistic discipline grounded in the philosophy of the “Unity of Opposites”. T’ai Chi Ch’uan’s translated name - Balance Fist - relates to the harmonious balancing of Yin/Yang energies in the body through movement and awareness.

This is an invitation to investigate Movement and Awareness and their relationship to Perception, Thought, Attention, Insight, and Consciousness, and how these core topics can advance individual development of alertness, clarity of thought, and grace in movement.

This IS NOT Simplified Tai Chi... To obtain real results you must practice the Real Art.
