It was originally designed as an effective means of self-defense and combat. As this martial art has evolved, practitioners have learned to use slower and “softer” movements to enhance the health benefits derived from Tai Chi practice. The slow movements are often described as “meditation in movement”. Mental focus, balance, flexibility, relaxation and confidence can all be improved and enhanced by training in this amazing martial art. Tai Chi can be learned by the young and old alike. This class will provide you the opportunity to learn a centuries old form of exercise to gain greater relaxation and improved health. Come meet our instructor, Sensei David Root.
