Most people know already the health benefits from tai chi…better balance, lower stress (and consequently blood pressure), low impact, etc., especially for seniors. You often don’t hear about the martial arts aspects of this original martial art, which Sifu Carlan Steward does teach in the afternoon/evening classes in his Carmichael school.
A news story on the martial side of tai chi can be found here (the group is based in the UK). (It’s not much, but it’s the first story I’ve seen on the martial side of Tai Chi from another group in ages!)
Sifu Carlan teaches Original Yang Tai Chi as it has been passed down by Sifu David Chin from his sifu Quo Lien-Ying.
