Tai Chi, or Taiji as it is more commonly known in China, is a type of martial art that is widely practised for both its health benefits and its use as a form of defense training.
Deqing Chen, the founder, and director of Jinlong Culture and Performing Arts Ltd, will be delivering a weekly course of Tai Chi here in the LCI. The style he will be teaching is called Chen-style Tai Chi, which he learned in Chen Village under Grand Master Zhenglei Chen.
Chen-style Tai Chi is considered to be the oldest of the five traditional styles (Chen, Yang, Hao, Wu, and Sun), and like all forms of Tai Chi, it combines movements that are soft and hard with slow and fast actions. The slow and gentle movements are relaxing and meditative, while the fast and powerful movements are designed to release energy and improve one's fitness.
This balanced combination of movements is perfect for people of all ages and abilities, even complete beginners. By the end of this course, you will have a clearer understanding of Tai Chi, and you will be able to practice Tai Chi in your own time.
