NEW! Health and Fitness

Overall health and fitness includes your mental attitude as well as the physical.
Keep your mind in tune and your stress levels down with these new classes and seminars.

Chen Style Taijiquan ("Tai Chi")

Tai Chi is a traditional martial art and health exercise that emphasizes deep relaxation of mind and body.  Through the practice of the Tai Chi form, one will experience how profound relaxation leads to optimal action in self-defense and in application to other physical disciplines.  Because it does not rely on brute force, Tai Chi is a rare example of martial art that can be used effectively by both women and men.  Chen style Tai Chi barehand forms (first form) will be taught in this class.  To find out more about the class, go to "nowspace.colorado.edu/taiji/taichi.html"
