Unlearning bad habits

We teach an 'internal' martial art and follow the teachings of The Tai Chi Classics. In order to start learning the system, a student must begin by letting-go of postural tension and the desire to use clenched muscles for strength.

For some people this is a gargantuan task because they rely on their arms for strength and do not really want to let-go. The problem is attitude, as much as body. Being open-minded and receptive is not easy.

This style of tai chi is a 'soft' martial art. It maintains a loose connection throughout the body at all times and the muscles never tense.
