Tai Chi

Tai Chi is one of the ancient Chinese martial arts, which combines profound principles and theories of Qi, martial art techniques, and aesthetics. The movements are slow, soft and continuously flowing; some are extracted from animals, aiming to make the physical body more connected to nature. The intention of Tai Chi is to build communication with one's internal energy (known as Qi) as well as letting the mind lead the energy.

Tai Chi is not only known as a martial art, but also a health exercise. Some movements are highly demanding, requiring good balance and coordination of the body. However, Tai Chi is not difficult to begin. It needs no equipment but music. Anyone — children, teenagers, adults or the aged — can learn and perform Tai Chi if he or she wishes to.

We hope you will come and join us learn Tai Chi together at Chinese Culture Corner — especially once Spring begins.
