Tai Chi is a moving meditation. Every movement is controlled by the Mind and Breath. It is also a martial art, where the movements can be used in self-defense. The exact translation of Tai Chi Chuan is “Grand Ultimate Fist”.

It is also known as “Yang TaiChi” or “TaiChi Chuan”. There are different styles, but in the 1950’s, the Chinese government brought many of these styles, masters, & practitioners together to compile a “short form” so that people could practice tai chi with simplicity.
