Come join us playing Grandmaster Cheng Man-Ching's short yang form in sunny Mexico. The BAD news: Falls are the leading cause of ER visits, hospital admissions, and unintentional deaths for older adults. T'ai Chi ch'uan is the core of Waterbending, a soft and hard martial art that uses fluid maneuvers that seem primarily defense-based. I feel this is a distinction that is needed in order to clarify for most people that Tai Chi Chuan is first and foremost a Martial Art and is not just "Moving Yoga" or "for health". Lee and his partners fuse skills in Karate, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, T'ai chi ch'uan and Hapkido, in a now classic fight-to-the-death epic battle, all staged by Lee himself. Fall risk has been identified as an urgent public health risk among active seniors. Anne Icardi will be practicing T'ai Chi Ch'uan and T'ai-Chi Kung (Tiger Mountain form) in the social hall on Wednesday evenings beginning with T'ai-Chi Kung at 6pm. While waiting for our Martial Forms for Women class to begin, I watched my co-teacher, Karl, as he lead his Chen T'ai Chi class at the studio. Be in flow… Learn these Taoist systems of “moving yoga” and “meditation through movement” through private instruction and coaching. Mornings are for t'ai chi sessions; afternoons for exploring, resting, etc.
