This ancient Chinese art of Tai Chi (Grand Ultimate Fist) helps to promote and cultivate the flow of chi (vital energy). This in turn can help in the improvement of ones health and well being.
Unlike the external styles e.g. Lau Gar, where the movements are executed and performed with more speed and power. Tai Chi is performed much slower and therefore enables the student to concentrate on the internal energy of our training and development. Not only can one enhance and develop their external boxing skills but in turn give a more balanced training program as a whole.
This slow form of exercise has become more and more popular in the west with the young and the old getting interested in the art for the main part in improving ones health (mind, body and spirit). This balanced approach of training works on the principle of yin-yang. These are the two opposing energies in the universe. Yin- female, negative, soft ,dark and yang- male, positive, hardness and light, and it is with this principle in mind that the student endeavours to gain equilibrium.
At the Lau academy we offer students the opportunity to learn Tai Chi Chuan within the mainstream Kung-fu classes or they can enrol in the Tai Chi Chuan only classes.
