1. PRACTICAL TAIJIQUAN- (T'aichi Kungfu / T'ai Chi Fighting Arts): is a program for beginning and advanced martial artists that teaches all areas of Taijiquan presented in the "Areas of Study" page of this website. Students who attend all classes for Form and Taiji Gongfu will thoroughly develop the skills of Taijiquan as both a system of health and as a complete martial art for self-defense and personal development. All instruction is learner centered.

We will help you to select classes appropriate to your needs and schedules.

Taiji for health is incredible stress relief and is an outstanding way to stabilize and enhance vitality while improving balance, flexibility, muscle strength and physical grace. There are many internal benifits as well. This program is appropriate for most fitness levels and is low impact.
