Wushu
Wushu
has over time become a formal branch of study in the
Chinese performing arts. It is the most popular national
sport in China, and is practiced by people of all
ages. It's emphasis has shifted from combat to performance,
and it is practiced for its method of achieving heath,
self-defense skills, mental discipline, recreational
pursuit and competition. Wushu is characterized by
its dynamic and fluid motions along with its kicks
and rolling techniques. The age group of our Wushu
classes range from 5 years of age and up. The wushu
classes are taught by ? Hung and ? Liu.
Wushu is the Chinese word for all the styles of Chinese
Martial Arts. These arts can be Tai Chi, Shaolin Boxing,
Wing Chun, and many other martial styles.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi
originated in ancient China. Nowadays, it is practiced
as an exercise for health. There are many reasons
for taking up Tai Chi:
- it is suitable for almost anyone
- it is easy to learn for health improvement
- it is gentle and circular movements
- it integrates the body and mind
- it has many different forms
- it is enjoyable to practice
- it is known in China to be effective for arthritis
Concentrating on correct posture
and breathing control, Tai Chi's movements are fluid,
graceful and well balanced, promoting the complete
harmony of body and mind. Tai Chi provides the mental
relaxation and physical fitness so essential in our
modern stress-filled lives.
Tai Chi is an unusual form of martial arts whereby
we believe in building strength - mental and physical
from within, softness is stronger than hardness, moving
in a curve is better than a straight line, yielding
is more efficient than confronting. It is especially
different from western types of sports such as rugby
where the harder and quicker the better. Tai Chi is
a sport that strengthens the body as well as the mind
from within.
