Lewes Tai Chi (School of Central Equilibrium)

We have found that the most effective way for students to learn Tai Chi is to begin by training the form as set of external movements where accuracy is emphasised. Once comfortable with the external movements students then learn how to apply Tai Chi principles into the movement, which is what makes Tai Chi an internal art. Finally as the student begins to become aware and more immersed in  the movements of the Tai Chi form, the training goes deeper where the emphasis is on becoming fully relaxed and synchronised practicing the Tai Chi form as one connected flow. This then allows students to produce the relaxed force (fajin); the secret power of Tai Chi.

It is a gradual process but the benefits begin immediately by starting to create balance and harmony, breaking down tension and stress, creating a sense of equilibrium.
