Tai Chi Chuan is a unique Chinese internal martial art which involves a combination of breathing, meditation and exercise in a smooth, round and continuous movement to reach every inner and outer part of the human body. The essence of the movements of Tai Chi Chuan lies in the co-ordination of the mind and body. Tai Chi Chuan is more than just physically defending yourself against an opponent. Created by a Daoist monk, centuries back in the mists of time, after watching a fight between a snake and a crane, the idea is “meditation in motion”. A mix of breathing, meditation and exercise, Tai Chi keeps you calm on the inside and helps bodily flexibility and coordination as well. It can even help you lower your blood pressure.

About the Taster
Aimed at newcomers to Tai Chi, your first sessions at Wu Style will be an introduction to the martial art. With the help of qualified instructor Neville Côté, you’ll learn warm-up and loosening exercises, Tai Chi walking exercises (great for improving balance) and some of the moves that make up the hand form. There are 108 movements in total so you’ll barely scratch the surface but after three sessions there’s a good chance you’ll already be hooked. 

What’s great about it?
Amongst its health benefits are improved flexibility, balance and co-ordination as well as improved circulation and blood pressure. Correct regular practice can also strengthen the bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons. Tai Chi Chuan also helps develop a calm stress-free mind and gently stimulates the internal organs, calms the nervous system and mobilises the joints.

Times Available
Classes are held on Thursdays from 7.30pm-9pm.

What to Bring
Just some comfortable workout gear.

How to Book
You’ll be given instructions on how to book your session once you purchase your voucher.
