INTRODUCTION:
Welcome to our Auckland Club homepage. Although serious and disciplined
about our training we are pretty informal as well - we treat participants
as the mature, intelligent and good-willed persons that most people
are.
Feel very welcome to come along to any of our locations without
invitation or as appropriate below. (First class: come ten minutes
early if you want a chat with your teacher)
Public Classes:
Adults, both young and older, love our more energetic TaiChi style
("Chen" family), the authentic traditional teaching
and the long term health benefits that go with it.
We also teach the self defence, martial-art aspects to those who
progress beyond the beginner's level. Chen style can be adapted
to your own level of fitness and agility - every person in class
is a unique "work-in-progress." Class training is not
about uniformity or competition.
Free
Classes for Seniors:
We teach a specially modified form of Chen style Tai Chi for persons
who need special attention (e.g. for balance issues, surgery rehab,
senior citizens, outpatients or anyone who feels the normal public
classes are too much). These very popular classes teach short,
graceful routines that maximise the many health benefits that
come from regular practise of Tai Chi.
The
classes have proven so effective that ACC subsidises recognised
Tai Chi teachers in NZ to advance their "Fall Prevention"
strategy.
Social
Aspects:
All classes
have a strong, informal, social emphasis. If this is your "cup
of tea" there are plenty of opportunities to get involved.
For the younger ones there are outings, camps, Club BBQs, movie
nights, intensive training workshops, overseas conventions and
public demo opportunities.
We also have social/educational "Tea and Talks," picnic
Tai Chi in the park during summer, discounted luncheons at popular
restaurants (80-120 persons strong), public mass demos with other
clubs, demos by our younger members and more.
