Tai Chi, Shifu Billy Greer
Tai Chi is an internal martial art. Tai Chi teaches mental focus, while emphasizing coordination, balance, relaxation, and proper breathing. At all levels, Tai-Chi is said to regulate the central nervous system and helps prevent stress, high blood pressure, and heart problems. You may also see this written as Taijiquan or T’ai Chi Ch’uan, but they are spelling variations of the same thing. Beginners start with silk reeling exercises and learn the 18 step Essence Form. Class is taught by Shifu Billy Greer. Visit the Jing Ying Institute website, operated by Billy Greer.
