INTRODUCTION TO TAICHI
TAICHI is a main division of the traditional Chinese martial art called
‘WUSHU’, which began from some 300 years ago in the late Ming and early
Qing Dynasties in China. It is an ancient exercise which embodies China's most
profound concepts and principles of health and movement.

TAICHI is practiced at a slow and even speed, and promotes relaxation, straight
posture, and balance. In addition to improving all of our bodily functions and
helping to prevent aging and disease, TAICHI movements calm the emotions and
focus the mind, thus making an outstanding contribution to one's health and
well-being.

Being categorized as an internal martial art, its characteristics include
relaxed grounded strength, opening and closing the body, a sense of connection
throughout the body, and natural spiraling movements.

We believe that the art of Tai Chi Chuan is one of the greatest gifts that
China has to share with the world and that, if practiced correctly, the
potential benefits of this art are extensive. An article in the August 5, 2002
issue of Time magazine referred to Tai Chi Chuan as ‘the perfect exercise’.
