Description: Translated as Grand Ultimate Boxing, Taijiquan (also Tai Chi Chuan) has five major family styles in practice today. These are the Chen, Yang, Wu, Wu (Hao), and Sun styles. Through kung fu warm ups and a series of special Chen Taiji drills called silk reeling, students will be introduced to a deeper awareness of physical fitness, body movement, and mental clarity. The student will then be taught a basic introductory level form designed to give a taste of what Chen Style Taijiquan has to offer. The students will also be introduced to some Push Hands training (a two person drill) and basic martial applications.
