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. While Tai Chi is traditionally practiced slowly to develop balance\, relaxation\, and mind-body awareness\, these same foundational skills can also be applied to self-defense. \nThis class will incorporate faster movements and martial arts drills to explore Tai Chi from a different perspective\, while still emphasizing its traditional benefits. 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.
