Tai Chi Kung Fu is a complete system of Chinese martial art developed many centuries ago based on Taoist philosophy. Although each movement had been designed for hand fighting, its gentle flow and gracefulness are now also recognised as a good form of exercise. With constant practice, Tai Chi can promote good health and relaxation. The original form of Tai Chi was first developed by Master Chan. Since then, various styles had emerged, each with some variations and characteristics. The form of Tai Chi to be covered in this course is the Wu Style which consists of 108 movements. This introductory beginners class will cover the first 30 movements of Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan. INSTRUCTOR: Stephen Ho. Stephen is a retired academic in engineering. He learned Tai Chi Chuan in Hong Kong when he was a teenager. He continues to practise Tai Chi and Chi Kung over the years. In Australia, he followed Master Michael Yung for a few years and improved and perfected his forms under Michaels supervision. He has been running Tai Chi classes at various venues in Perth for over 20 years.
