The Practice of Tai Chi Chuan,

Tai Chi Chuan also transliterated as Taijiquan is often shortened to Tai Chi, for convenience. That is the term we use to refer to our Health Tai Chi programs, to distinguish them from the martial art.

 Our WuDang Taijiquan syllabus offers a complete system of traditional Tai Chi Chuan, with hand form, pushing hands, applications, weapons and more. 
Our Tai Chi for Health, and Adapted Tai Chi options, offer enjoyable, safe, and ability appropriate exercise and relaxation for their participants. 

“To practice Tai Chi Chuan is a deliberate decision to employ conscious awareness 
of how we stand, move, breathe and respond”
Our Taijiquan martial arts syllabus comprises the study of traditional Taijiquan in all its aspects, some of which can be physically demanding, as you would expect from a competative and practical sytem proven in the ranks of the Imperial Guard and continualy demonstrated through the years in a tradition of competative acheivements. Our health Tai Chand therefore not suitable for the infirm, or those recuperating from any illness. If you have a long term illness or recurring health problem, you may find that one of our Qigong programs are more suitable for your need. If you are in good health but not fantastically fit (or willing to become so) you may find the Tai Chi for Health classes suits you.

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.
