We are opening the doors to the general public to participate in a gentle tai chi partner exercise/training method called pushing hands. the aim is to uproot your partner's balance using sensitivity and skill, not brute force. Followed by a short demonstration of other practice methods including form (that which tai chi is typically known for).
What is needed ideally (but can manage in casual clothing):
• loose clothing, i.e. jogging bottoms, trackies or leggings, t-shirt and light, flat shoes
• bottle of water
Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Martial Art that strives to cultivate the mind and the body through martial training, meditation and exercise.
When practiced regularly, Tai Chi provides extraordinary health benefits, improves balance, flexibility and strength while calming the spirit and reducing stress.
Much of Tai Chi is practiced in a slow, mindful way which provides a good workout without inflicting high impact stress on the body. This makes Tai Chi accessible to everyone, including those recovering from injury or suffering from joint conditions.
However, some of the more advanced forms of Tai Chi Chuan involve explosive movements and are focused much more on the martial aspects of the art.
Here at the Lancaster School of Tai Chi Chuan we provide a variety of classes suited to all, regardless of age, mental or physical ability. Our students include and have included:
