Introduction

Tai Chi

“Tai Chi” is a traditional Chinese martial art that started long ago. It has many styles and includes ideas from different beliefs like Daoism and Confucianism. Tai Chi helps us with balance, movement, strength, and calmness. In Macau, popular styles include Chen, Yang, Wu, Sun, and Wu. During the class, instructors from the Wushu General Association of Macau guide the participants to explore the basics of the 8-form and 16-form Tai Chi styles.
