Our Philosophy

The goal of Taoist Tai Chi is to return the body and mind to its original pure and healthy state and is taught as a life nourishing, restorative and spiritual practice. Instead of being a competitive martial art, Taoist Tai Chi is taught and practiced in a spirit of compassion and service to others with the emphasis of being kind, generous and helpful. The underlying notion is that outward focus helps release one’s own stress and worries.

Taoist Tai Chi’s movements are altered to fit the unique abilities of the student versus the student learning a form and forcing him or herself to fit the form. The benefit of Taoist Tai Chi is that anyone can practice and each will improve at their own pace. This supports the philosophy that each movement is successful in improving an individual’s health. This is how anyone can find great value in practicing Taoist Tai Chi.
