Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient (800 year old) Chinese system of exercise for health, relaxation, and self- defense. Students are introduced to all of the aspects of this Art. This balanced system, with dual aspects of mental and physical components, is based on principles of physics and human physiology. The system is composed of 37 postures which are connected together by smooth transitions. This results in a series of fluid, rounded movements which are then referred to as the Form. T’ai Chi training is also known as an “internal system” because of its beneficial effects upon the Central and Autonomic Nervous Systems and the Skeletal and Muscular Systems.
