Hong Style Practical Method Chen Taijiquan

This isn’t your ordinary, rec-center Tai Chi!  Hong Style Practical Method Chen Taiji is very rich in history and technique, and is far more challenging than it looks!  Wonderful for improving balance, coordination, and breathing techniques, Chen Taiji also teaches fighting skills through jointlocks, footwork, and positioning.

Its coiling movements provide the devastating short-range power that allowed much smaller masters to prevail over larger, stronger opponents with seemingly little effort.

"If you are stronger than I, I will yield endlessly. If I am stronger than you, I will roll over you like a stone. Such is the nature of Taiji."

"It's not about brute force...it's about structure. If your body is in the right position, then it's solid and strong. That's when you can express your power."
