T'ai Chi Ch'uan ("tie-chee-chwan") is an ancient, Chinese martial art. This system incorporates exercise, meditation, and self-defense into a flowing series of gentle movements and postures. T'ai Chi's hallmarks of non-violence, harmony, yielding, and neutralization are based on Taoist philosophy, demonstrated by the yin-yang symbol. Experience serenity, balance, strength, and flexibility through this life-enriching path of rejuvenation and self-actualization!
Your instructor, David Grinstead, has practiced the art of T'ai Chi Ch'uan since 1996. He apprenticed for nine years under Eric Reiss, founder of the Silk Tiger School of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, and was certified to teach under Eric's guidance in 2000. He has been teaching independently since 2005.
"We all know that T’ai Chi is practiced slowly, but ‘slow’ is a relative term. T’ai Chi can certainly be practiced at variable speeds which may be slow, slower, slower yet, extremely slow, or, alternately, less slow, less than slow, accelerated, or “Oh my God, did you see that?” Yes, it’s true; in addition to the more common slow practices, there are T’ai Chi fast forms that can accelerate to a point that they rival the speed of any other martial art. T’ai Chi is usually practiced slowly, but nowhere is it written that T’ai Chi can only be practiced slowly." -- John Loupos, Exploring Tai Chi
