The Martial Art Behind Tai Chi’s Grace
In addition to being an exceptional system for improving health, Tai Chi is also a powerful martial art, complete with self-defense techniques and principles. One of the core teachings of Tai Chi is the principle of yielding rather than opposing force. Students learn to control larger and stronger opponents using leverage, timing, and technique instead of brute strength. Through the practice of Tai Chi push-hands, a two-person training exercise, students develop the ability to anticipate and redirect an opponent’s attack before it even starts. We invite you to experience this unique and effective training for yourself!
