Tai

Chi is an extraordinarily subtle system, and is one of the so-called soft style or internal martial arts. Tai Chi requires relaxed natural movements that integrate the whole body with the mind. Tai Chi relies on the intrinsic strength of functionally aligned postures, in contrast to muscular strength normally exhibited by hard-style or external martial arts, such as Karate.

Our focus will not be on the martial component, but rather on learning the correct form of doing the movements and the underlying principles that govern them.

The class will be taught by Oswaldo Voysest, a student of Master Y. C. Chiang.

All are welcome any time (and for any length of time) during the class time, since we do the same stretches every class, and each one advances at his/her own pace for the tai chi movements.
