We are starting a Chen style Tai Chi class for beginners around Buona Vista. Class starts next Wednesday.

What is Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a martial art using inner school techniques. As such, it does not depend on brute strength, but on quick reflex, sharp mind and well-coordinate body movements.

What is Chen style Tai Chi
Chen style tai chi contain a number of combat-like movements. Its most effective at close-quarters fighting. In fact, you just need a 1-inch distance from the opponent to be effective, the closer the more effective against the opponent. Chen style Tai chi contains slow-quick movements, explosive jumps, attacks and kicks, arm locks/breaks, punches, qing na, tu na (reverse breathing), fa qing (explosive inner strength) and the difficult silk-reeling movement (chan si qing).

The Sifu
The sifu is Wu Ah Gan. He is very well-known for his Chen style Tai Chi and has continuously won gold medals yearly. Medium generally in Mandarin, but we can translate.

Interested, email me.
