Yang Style T’ai Chi

T'ai Chi Ch'uan, (T'ai Chi for short) is a complete Chinese martial art system on its own, yet it possesses certain qualities that stimulate overall health and wellness, making it the perfect exercise for anyone. Providing cardiovascular development, body toning, joint massage, and a means to center one’s emotions, Tai Chi is meditation through movement, culminating in the longevity of life itself.

The development and movement of ch'i aids the body in its ability to heal itself, boost immune system function, reduce stress, and create balance and well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally. Tai Chi, an advanced form of Ch’i Kung, incorporates a series of movements which create a routine or "form." For the martial artist, Tai Chi brings an internal focus to a student’s training, and helps to promote a deeper understanding of balance, weight distribution, and active and passive energies.

Yang Family Style T’ai Chi Ch’uan, in its many variations, is the most popular and widely practiced style in the world today and the second in terms of seniority among the primary five family styles of t’ai chi ch’uan. Developed from the older Chen Family Style, it was modified for the benefit of the general populace, not just for its martial application but for its amazing health benefits.
