What is Tai Chi, Kung Fu & Qi Gong/Meditation?
 
Tai Ji & Kung Fu and Qi Gong/Meditation help to develop fitness and well being, improve core strength and discipline, internal balance and calm the mind. Skills learnt can not only be used for self defence but also, and most importantly, to help find focus in life. Practise brings awareness and clarity to the practitioner
