TAI CHI
Please note that I only conduct private Tai Chi lessons, not group classes.
Lessons are $90 for one hour of individual instruction at my office in West Los Angeles.
I am a Tai Chi Chuan teacher certified by Tai Chi Chuan Grand Master C.K. Chu. I have been practicing Tai Chi for over twenty years and have been teaching it professionally for the last fifteen.
Instruction is in the Yang Style Short Form. Part One of the form can take several weeks to learn properly, Part Two can take several months.
Tai Chi Chuan is a unique system of health and self-defense that originated in China nearly 1,000 years ago. It has always been valued as one of the treasured classic disciplines of Chinese culture. Derived from the ancient philosophy of Taoism, Tai Chi was designed to develop the optimum degree of harmony between body and mind; between the individual and the natural order of the universe.
The seemingly effortless slow moving Tai Chi form is composed of sequences of dynamic postures which are actually fighting techniques. Tai Chi enables the student to cultivate chi, the intrinsic energy or life force of the body. The circulation of chi rejuvenates all of the internal organs and vital systems much in the same way as Acupuncture therapy. In addition, practicing the forms develops the strength of joints and muscles in a way that does not sacrifice flexibility.
As a method of meditation in action, Tai Chi promotes the integration of the body, mind, and emotions. The result is the student will find that he or she is better able to deal with internal contradictions and external stress. However, it is only with correct instruction and consistent practice that one can benefit fully from all the healing aspects of the art.
For information about the relationship of Tai Chi to Nei Kung please go to III. Nei Kung is easier to learn than Tai Chi.
