What is Tai Chi?

Tai Chi is a sequence of dynamic, soft flowing movements combined with hard and fast actions, performed in a balanced and natural way. These movements, or forms, adhere to the philosophical Taoist principles of Yin and Yang from the 'Yijing' (Book of Changes). Contained within the Tai Chi framework are spiralling and twisting, unique silk reeling movements, jumps, leaps and explosive energy release actions. During practice the body remains relaxed, the practitioners consciousness, breathing and actions are all closely connected.

These unique features enhance benefits to health, fitness and weight-loss, and are just a few of the reasons why so many people, regardless of age or level of fitness, regularly practice Chen Style Tai Chi throughout the world today.

Since it's creation, Chen Style Tai Chi has remained true to its original understanding and purpose. The current head of the Chen Family, Grandmaster Chen Zhenglei is recognised internationally as one of the highest level masters within the art.
