Tai Chi at the Martial Arts Academy
Tai Chi - also called t'ai chi chuan, taiji and taijiquan - is considered an internal martial art. An ancient discipline with its roots in China, today Tai Chi is usually practiced for health reasons.
Tai Chi is a slow, gentle form of exercise with many proven health benefits, including improved strength, flexibility and balance. Research also suggests that Tai Chi can improve digestion, metabolism and circulation. The relaxing movements help to calm the mind and body, resulting in a reduction of stress from everyday life.
This ancient form of self-defense can be practiced by people of any age in any physical condition.
At the Lake Worth Martial Arts Academy, we practice Chen style Lao Jia (old frame), which is the oldest form and the parent of most other styles.
- Lao Jia Yi Lu - also called the "first form", which is the starting point for new students. Yi Lu teaches the body to move correctly.
- Lao Jia Er Lu - also called the "second form", incorporates faster movements and more advanced martial arts moves.
- Sword Form - an advanced form incorporating a straight sword.
