Tai Chi: a traditional martial art practice

The origins of Tai Chi date back over 700 years and the art form is accredited to a Taoist Monk named Zhang San Feng. Tai Chi has been passed down through different families for generations. Initially, it functioned as a unique and profound self-defense technique. Today it is practiced for its defense training, its health benefits and for meditation. There is no better place to have a go at this ancient Chinese martial art than at the Temple of Heaven, a peaceful 267 hectare park and true oasis in one of China’s most bustling urban metropolises. At your hour long private Tai Chi class you’ll get to grips with the basic steps of this fascinating martial art.  You’ll also practice some ancient methods to help improve your Qi (internal energy) and promote good health.
