Tai Chi
Our approach
Tai Chi Chuan was developed in China. The system we teach at the studio was developed by Chuan You (1832 - 1902) and further developed by his son Wu Chien Chuan (1870 - 1942)
Tai Chi Chuan does not rely on physical exertion or the use of force. Tai Chi's emphasis lies instead in the application of the mind to direct the body through slow movements. These choreographed movements enable whole body relaxation which in turn permits the engagement of deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.
We teach a short form version of the original Wu Chien Chuan long form. It was developed by master B.K Frantzis who is an inheritor of this style through the line of Grandmaster Lui Hung Chieh.

Benefits
Tai Chi can aid in the treatment of neck, joint and back problems, headaches, high blood pressure, impotence, constipation, asthma, angina, heart problems and recuperation from surgery or sport injuries.
Other benefits include increased joint mobility, more efficient blood circulation, deeper respiratory function and overall organ efficiency.
