Tai Chi Chuan

Tai Chi Chuan, also transliterated as Taijiquan, is often shortened to Tai Chi, for convenience.
​Tai Chi is a type of martial art well known for its health benefits, and as an effective means of alleviating stress and anxiety. Tai Chi can be a form of meditation in motion, which promotes serenity and inner peace. Medical research has found that practicing Tai Chi is helpful in improving one’s balance, breathing, physical and psychological health.

Tai Chi Chuan is based upon the Daoist philosophical principle of Tai Chi.  As such it reflects Yin and Yang in its practice, that is active and passive phases. Some of what we do is slow, some fast, some gentle, some less so.  Tai Chi is characterised by smooth, coordinated, flowing movements that should be beautiful to observe.
