Tai Chi – Yang and Chen Style Was £45 20% off NOW £36

Tai chi for beginners is the best place to begin when learning a tai chi form or tai chi quan. The Yang Style is suitable for all ages. The great thing about Master Wong’s training method is it can be transferred in to combat too or even self defence. Tai Chi chuan relies on technique, balance and softness.

Tai Chi Health
This daily practice of Tai chi will enhance your mental capacity to deal with the stresses of every day life. Qigong or chi gong is practiced for this reason.
The movements will strengthen your muscles and joints and improve your balance and co-ordination externally. As you master breathing you will become more aware of your bodies natural systems and begin to balance and control your respiration and circulation internally.
Meditating while balancing your body internally and externally will lead to a balanced mind. Your memory will be better, you will pick things up quicker and the decisions you make in your life will be easier. Researchers have found that Tai Chi practice shows favorable effects on the promotion of balance control, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitness. Tai Chi has stood the test of time, millions upon millions of people practice Tai Chi to keep themselves young in body and mind and have been doing so for thousands of years.

The slower and longer you practice the more beneficial it is. Play around with the short form like the 8 step to begin with to build strength and understanding, before doing the full 24 yang form.

How do I know I’m doing it right?
Your hands and body should feel warmer if not hotter when you have done the movements for a while. You may feel achy the day after training when you first begin. Later you will feel less achy as you progress.

What is Tai Chi? (Also known as Taiji)
There are 5 styles of Tai Chi forms. Yang, Chen, Sun, Wu, Ng.
Tai chi chuan is a slow motion, moving meditative exercise for relaxation, health and self-defence. Now a days most people practice the Yang style for the health benefits. Originally from China and designed for combat, Tai Chi has gained enormous popularity in America and throughout the rest of the world for its health benefits and competitions. However many few are able to Master the combat side and rear to see Masters who can apply it in real time.

Yin and Yang
According to Chinese philosophy, yin and yang are the two forces that generate chi. They are seen as opposites: yin is feminine and yang is masculine. But neither can exist without the other. And together they represent the perfect harmony that underpins all creation. The balance between yin and yang is never static.

Take your time, go very slow. It will feel awkward at first & can be frustrating. Don't try to get all of the movements right all at once. Keep going over and over the first movement until it's perfect, then go the second until it's perfect. Repetition and not giving up will pay off in a big way later on. With each movement make sure you are totally relaxed and breathing right; upward movements inhale, downward movement exhale. You will eventually feel very comfortable, it will get easier

Hi Master Wong, I am a woman who is fighting against a cancer, fighting for it doesn't come back. I have found these videos and started to learn and practice every morning, step by step, and I feel fine, your teaching is wonderful, clear, easy to understand. Putting this course on line you gave me the chance to do something I couldn't even hope for: doing the Thai Chi I move in time, I live every second, every moment of a second. My time, its end, is the monster I'm facing and Thai Chi teaches me that I own my time, every second of it and I'm the master of it and of my body. Me, not a cancer or anything else. God bless you.

listen!!! to all the Master Wong fans who want to learn this, as a martial artist over 30 years myself, take one step at a time, practice it!! over and over for a few days and then go to the next step, that way you have in memory the steps down perfect before you advance, this is the only way....step by step...and you will get it...

[brianmcgrew]

I like his break down, I urge beginners, focuses on 3 moves at a time. Before long you will have all the moves put together that Master Wong teaches. Reminder he is also teaching, patience and focus. Your confidence grows from a seed to baring fruit.

As a police officer i was looking for a way to find some rest and piece of mind to leave the things ive seen and experienced behind me. Came across your youtube channel and i kinda felt connected started the first lesson felt great. Also follow the wing chun basic lessons great way to find rest focus and piece of mind.

Thanks
