Ancient Philosophies Contributing to the Development of Tai Chi |
|
|
 This is the Yin Yang symbol or Taijitu, with black representing yin and white representing yang. It is a symbol that reflects the inescapably intertwined duality of all things in nature, a common theme in Taoism. No quality is independent of its opposite, nor so pure that it does not contain its opposite in a diminished form: these concepts are depicted by the vague division between black and white, the flowing boundary between the two, and the smaller circles within the large regions. |

Explaining "Chi" in Tai Chi exercise |
|
|
|
Tai Chi literally translated means "great ultimate" art form. Tai Chi is a recreational fitness system of flowing movements designed to exercise and develop the body and mind in unison. The movements are performed in a slow and dream-like pace, with deep concentration and diaphragmatic breathing to transport one into a state of tranquil relaxation. |

Thoughts of a Student - Kelvin Mather |
|
|
|
I have been involved with Tai Chi for the last twelve months and have found it enjoyable, relaxing and beneficial. It has improved my concentration and physical flexibility. I see it as active and meditative, social but also individual, challenging yet relaxing, both disciplined yet free. A great way to keep mentally and physically fit and alert. It improves awareness of your body and environment.

Thoughts of an Instructor - Dorothy Patel |
|
|
|
As an instructor it has been a rewarding experience to pass on my knowledge to students and learning to fine tune my own Tai Chi experiences at the same time. To hear from students that they have been sleeping better and are far more relaxed as a result of their regular Tai Chi practice is most gratifying. |

My Story - Steven Chan |
|
|
|
I have been learning and practicing Tai Chi for about 4 years, not long by any standard. Those who know me might say I am somewhat enthusiastic, and I try hard to learn the movements well. Maybe I try too hard at times. When I practice Tai Chi I try to put a fair amount of time towards the session, at least half an hour to an hour. Most of my practice sessions are OK, some do fizzle, but occasionally some sessions rise above the rest. |

After suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for several years and finding any physical exertion totally exhausting, my wife suggested I join her at Tai Chi classes in Camberwell. This centre was run by Senior Master Eng Chor. Tony Donnoli, my friend of many years, was one of the instructors. |
