SUMMARY:Tai Chi: Martial Arts & Self-Defense at West End Library with Ed
DESCRIPTION:Explore the martial arts side of Tai Chi in this faster-paced class.

Come learn\, move\, and discover how the principles of Tai Chi can support both mindful movement and practical self-defense. \nAll experience levels are welcome. \nTo participate in this class\, no prior registration is required.Simply create an account on the website first. Once your account is set up\, you can attend the class by showing up and printing your first and last name on the sign-in sheet.
