What is Tai Chi Chuan?
Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) is a traditional Chinese martial art that focuses on slow, flowing movements, deep breathing, and inner balance. It is often described as “meditation in motion” because it trains both the body and the mind together.
The word Tai Chi Chuan means “Supreme Ultimate Fist” – a martial art based on the principles of Yin and Yang (balance of energy).
