Originally known as Tai Chi Chuan, the Fist of the Supreme Ultimate, this art has its roots deep in antiquity. In the earliest writings found, dating back to the early 2nd century BCE, it was referred to as Da Heng, the Great Constancy.
Tai Chi is both an internal and external martial art that, through empty-hand forms and weapons practice, aims to mobilize, integrate, and express vital energy. Its practice seeks to achieve the fullest and most honest expression of oneself, unifying body, mind, and energy through conscious movement.
In our school, Tai Chi and Qigong are distinguished in a practical and conventional way only to support the initial stages of learning. However, both disciplines share the same purpose: to harmonize our being and to build a solid, consistent, and diligent foundation of practice that enables us to face the challenges of daily life with presence, balance, and awareness.
