Tai Chi's Four R's: Recognize --React--Redirect--Rebound
Tai Chi's Four R's: Recognize --React--Redirect--Rebound
Recognize is the first of the "Four R's". It is also probably the most important "R" because if you can't recognize what is causing an imbalance--either physically or non-physically--you can't defend against it.
In our present day the forces that cause an imbalance to our "Tai Chi State" are hard to identify, especially if the cause of our imbalance is our own reaction. Take our reaction to a siren, for instance. When we hear a siren, our bodies react automatically. And the perfect balance of the Tai Chi State is pushed off kilter.
We must learn to "Recognize" that our reaction to the siren is causing the imbalance and then we must employ the remaining three "R's" to React, Redirect and Rebound.

Learn to Meditate
Tai Chi Chuan translated means "grand ultimate fist". It began in China centuries ago when a monk observed the fight to the death between a crane and a snake. He observed the quick circular movements of the snake and powerful thrusts of the crane. He combined them into a set of forms we now call Tai Chi.
Many of today's set of movements derive from animals, such as horse, snake, crane, monkey, rooster, tiger and dragon.
Tai Chi Chuan is a martial art, healthy exercise, and moving meditation. It can increase strength, balance and mental focus, as well as decrease stress,m pain and disease.

Five Principles of Tai Chi Chuan:
1. Form
2. Breath
3. Balance
4. Relaxation
5. Connection

What our customers are saying
What our customers are saying
When I got to tai chi class this morning I was hurting and tight thru my back down thru my legs. It was all I could do to stand and turn. Halfway thru class I thought about leaving but decided to try another set. Within 10 minutes my body loosened up and I was pain free. Thanks so much for the classes. I'll be doing the "stretching exercises" on my own. Have a good weekend.
