Tai Chi
Tai Chi originates from ancient China. 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.
