Tai Chi is a low impact set of movements that benefits the mind and the body. Some of the benefits include improved balance and flexibility, better focus and concentration, stress reduction and overall well-being. The movements are done in a slow relaxed coordinated manner that helps increase circulation to the brain and the internal organs. Tai chi helps regulate the nervous system, which sends signals to the brain that enhances our reaction skills. Each movement has a specific name and purpose.

 

The classes will begin with working on the beginner 24 movement Tai chi form and progressing to the advanced 108 movement form. Chi kung, (breathing exercises) postures and footwork will be covered in each class.

 

This program runs through both sessions and will run for 10-12 weeks. Specific dates can be found in the confirmation. As part of the three fitness classes, you can take up to a maximum of two at your level, plus any number of general levels to get you to your three fitness classes. This is a general level fitness class.

Slaughter, David
David Slaughter

Sifu David Slaughter began training in Chinese Martial arts at the early age of eight years old. Over decades of training and teaching, Sifu realized that learning, patience, and discipline pave the long path to wisdom. Sifu carries forward this philosophy – a philosophy that characterized traditional Chinese “closed school” systems – into an open school where his teaching style demonstrates that every student should be taught what the individual student is ready to learn. At the core of Sifu’s teaching are two foundational elements: the training of the body, to build confidence in the individual’s physical abilities, and training of the mind, to release personal ego that often gets us into trouble. Sifu Slaughter’s reputation for sincerity, patience in teaching, and dedication to his art have become widely known and respected throughout the greater Pittsburgh area and beyond.
