Tai Chi Kung Fu

Navigation

Tai Chi is short for Tai Chi Chuan, which translates into Grand Ultimate Fist. It is an ancient Chinese Martial Art. Initially, we teach it as a very gentle breathing exercise program.

Everyone may benefit from practising Tai Chi, regardless of age or fitness levels. It is said to be preferably done in the morning, after your ablutions and before breakfasting, as it is considered a cleansing system.

We are fortunate to be part of the direct lineage to Great Grand Master Wang Shu Chin’s system of Internal Kung Fu, which includes Tai Chi, Hsing I and Ba Gua. His disciple, Grand Master Wang Fu Lai, is now responsible for extending the Cheng Ming International Kung Fu System throughout the world, including Taiwan, Japan, Israel, England, Italy, France, USA and now Australia.

As a form of stress management, Tai Chi has no rival. Tai Chi relieves stress and tension by invoking a sense of tranquillity in the mind along with introducing a healthier state of body at the same time.

As the movements are natural and not forced, the entire body is exercised evenly, enhancing better metabolism, youthfulness, toning of the nerves and increasing the effectiveness of breathing and good blood circulation. Each movement has excellent self-defence applications as well.

The benefits of practising Tai Chi include a greater sense of general awareness, having more energy to do your daily tasks, better flexibility and the ability to enjoy relaxation techniques also.

To live long in good health is everyone’s desire. Tai Chi can keep you fit, help you work more efficiently, sleep more soundly and enjoy daily activities without the accumulation of worries and irritations.

All the Coaches are professional and patient, and have been personally trained by Master Wang Fu Lai both in Taiwan and Australia. Perhaps we need to borrow from Eastern Culture some of the better techniques to help us with our busy Western lifestyles.
