身Connect the body心Settle the mind意Move with purposeA lifelong practice. An open invitation.
01 / The practice
Less force.
More awareness.
Tai Chi brings attention to the way you stand, shift, and move. The beginning is simple: slow down enough to notice.
Connected movement
Bring individual movements together with intention. Practice coordination without rushing the process.
Depth through repetition
Return to the fundamentals. A familiar movement can reveal something new each time you practice.
Curious beginners and returning practitioners are welcome to register interest.
02 / Your teacher

陸國敢A tradition is kept alive by the people who practice it.
