Tai Chi Ch'Uan

Tai Chi Ch’uan is an Internal style of Kung-Fu. There are different styles of Tai Chi though Chen, Yang and Wu are the most popular. They owe their names from the Masters who have spread this Martial Art in the past. 
Tai Chi is a form of exercise that combines physical activity with breathing exercises and meditation, and even though it was originally born as a very effective Martial Art, nowadays Tai Chi is mostly known for bringing many benefits to the practitioner, as medical studies report.
Tai Chi is practiced by both young and elderly people seeking for balance, agility, general body and mind health, stress reduction and management, and, of course, self-defense. 

Tai Chi practitioners will benefit of: 

• Balance improvement
• Physical fitness and mental strenght developement
• Concentration and relations with the "outside" are incremented
• Self-defense skills enhanced

In the past, a big distinction when teaching Tai Chi Ch’uan was made: It was thought as a proper Martial Art in its whole concept and application to a few selected apprentices, and as a health and wellness practice to the mass, usually in parks or sometimes even on the street. 

A.S.D. Shen Kung Fu teaches Yang style, inherited by Master Chang Dsu Yao in its purest manner: the whole 108 movements Long Form. Training also comprehends Tui Shou (Push Hands - a sensitivity and co-ordination developing exercise), levers and weapons. 

Tai Chi Ch’uan can be practiced at all ages.
