About
Often practiced as a self-defense program, Tai Ji Quan involves actions skillfully executed through careful movement control and maneuvering rather than through overt external physical force. Movements that are slow, continuous, and flowing have been shown to promote calmness, the release of stress and tension, and heightened awareness of the body in relation to its environment.
Pre-registration is encouraged. Walk-ins may be able to be accommodated.
