What Is Tai Chi?
COLUMBIA TAI CHI CENTER
.
Tai Chi is a mind and body art with proven, life-changing benefits.
Tai Chi can help you achieve...

Health, Fitness and Weight Loss- Tai Chi is a form of exercise that combines many of the
same stress management, weight loss, health and fitness benefits as yoga, meditation and pilates.

Relaxation and Mental Clarity- Tai Chi is an excellent form of meditation (Zen) that provides
powerful stress reduction and increases your mental focus and concentration.

High Energy and a Strong Immune System- Tai Chi is a form of breath exercise and energy
work (called Qigong or Chi Kung in Chinese), that will help empower your immune system and
increase your energy level and overall vitality (your Qi or Chi).

Confidence and Inner Strength- Tai Chi is a style of Chinese Kung Fu (a martial art, like
karate), and if trained properly is excellent for fitness and self-defense--and martial arts is
universally regarded as one of the best possible ways to lose weight and build self-confidence.

Peace and Balance in Life- For those interested in Asian philosophies, Tai Chi is deeply rooted
in the ancient Chinese philosophy of Tao (Dao), best known for its principles of balance,
harmony, and naturalness, and energy (called Qi or Chi in Chinese).

Most importantly, you will have fun! Tai Chi is a beautiful art that people fall in love with, not
just for the benefits, but for the joy of learning and practicing the art.

but I also found focus, stress relief,
a clearer mind and an
elevated spirit."

Do you just want to do a little Tai Chi, or do you want to
really change your life for the better by learning complete, traditional Tai Chi?  
It's not the same thing...
If you live in West Columbia, Lexington, Blythewood, Irmo, Casey, or any other area around Columbia, don't worry, we have
many students taking classes here from your area, and with our many flexible class times, you will be able to find times that work
for you.  If you live in West Columbia, Lexington, Blythewood, Irmo or Casey but work in Columbia, then it's even easier because
we have many evening class times--so don't let distance keep you from improving your life with Taichi!

If you are interested in martial arts or self defense, whether it's mixed martial arts or traditional martial arts like karate or kungfu,
Tai Chi Chuan (Tajiquan) is considered the "graduate studies" in martial arts.  True martial Taichi, which is rarely taught any more
these days, is highly respected by those who truly know and understand the martial arts at a high level.
