Over the centuries, Chinese people have practiced the moving art of Tai Chi and other internal martial arts. The world is beginning to understand the benefits of the ancient art.
Tai Chi is a new unique form of moving meditation calming the mind, relaxing the body, and strengthening the spirit. Tai Chi is practiced slowly and gently, ideal for people of all ages and health conditions.
Though most people take up Tai Chi for the health benefits, others are intrigued by the fact the style is additionally a highly effective martial art. Emphasis is placed on cultivating “chi” or internal energy and not simply to develop muscle mass and brute force.
It is this focus on Chi cultivation that makes our school’s Tai Chi so highly effective for cultivating good health and for developing exceptional martial arts skills.
The Shaolin Garden Martial Arts is one of the few modern schools that can teach pure Tai Chi thanks to the lineage we follow. Whether you choose Tai Chi for health or self-defense, or both, you’ll quickly discover how much calmer and peaceful you feel by joining our Charlotte Tai Chi classes.
