Mission: To preserve and embody the physical and mental practices of the Shaolin Temple martial arts. Tai Chi Chuan is the art of being calm and open, trained both as an advanced martial art and a gentle health practice. The focus of our martial arts program is on fitness, self-defense, mind-body connection, and self-cultivation.
This manifests as a precise movement practice that requires discipling the body, controlling our energy, and focusing the mind on the present moment, through both solo and partner work. In general, the practice is to merge and harmonize all the different aspects of ourselves like body, awareness, energy, and intention.
