Tai Chi literally means "Supreme Ultimate" and encompasses the belief that everything in the universe depends on the interaction between the polar opposites of Yin and Yang. Where Yin is represented by night, negative, soft, earth, intellectual and Yang by day, positive, hard, sky, physical. Tai Chi is an internal martial art using yin and yang to counteract each other.

Tai Chi is the classic Chinese method of exercise for health, self-defense and spiritual growth. Graceful in movement, slow in tempo, relaxed yet dynamic in beautiful natural postures, Tai Chi is a "moving meditation" that rejuvenates the body, mind and spirit.

The most immediate health benefits of Tai Chi practice are improved posture, flexibility, balance, circulation, metabolism, and neuro-muscular function, and a strengthened immune system.

Tai Chi can be recommended to anyone, regardless of sex, age, health or level of fitness.

Regular Tai Chi practice develops robust physical strength, concentration, emotional calm and serenity, and mental clarity.
