questions about tai chi, fighting, Taoism, Meditation, and Sex. These
questions and his answers are now available in Why Tai Chi?
He explains why tai
chi is good for health, good for fighting, good for sex, and good for
YOU! The first print run is limited -
so buy yours today!

Special Classes
Starting June 14th: Ta Lu, Begins June 14th.
Sometimes called the "four corners technique" because corner movements replace the back-and-forth motion of Push-Hands, with use of the shoulders and elbows and wider footwork. Read more here.
Starting June 15th: Flute Form, Begins June 22nd (class meets twice a month, Saturday at 2:30).
Flute Form is a short-stick form devised by Master Chu taking elements of traditional staff forms to create a form a person could actually use today. The stick form movements can be done with an umbrella, cane, or rolled newspaper. This is the best weapon to begin with. No Pre-req.Read more here.
Tai Chi Short Form Improvement, Pt. 2, begins Thursday May 16th. In this class, Master C.K. Chu will provide step-by-step instructions in how to do the short form. Class will spend 10 weeks on each of the 3 sections of the form. This class is open to students that have completed the short form in regular tai chi classes. Cost: $245. for 10 weeks.
