Taichi practice is about finding one's center, and then learning how to move from it.

What is Taichi?

Taichi, also spelled t’ai chi ch’uan or taiji, is a gentle, slow-moving series of Chinese martial arts movements combined into standardized forms.  The benefits of taichi practice include improved flexibility, posture, strength, balance, relaxation, and mental clarity.  Long term practitioners typically develop harmony of mind and body, reducing stress and increasing inner peacefulness.  At a deeper level taichi can also be about getting in touch with the underlying oneness that moves everything.

OUR INSTRUCTORS

Master Liu Yu

Master Liu Yu

Liu Yu commands a masterful teaching style, transmitting the taichi curriculum with an astounding fluidity, aligning perfectly with the wonder and beauty inherent in the principles of taichi itself.

Master Liu Yu’s teaching style is very much like the ocean.  Though tranquil and subtle, she yields the power to transform great obstacles over gentle iterations of persistent force. 

Liu Yu is a lifelong student of the art, beginning her journey as a young child in Baoying China under the tutelage of Master Dai Jiayu.  Demonstrating unyielding focus and natural talent she eventually became a professional Wushu athlete (martial artist) and National hero.  In 1997 her steady vigilance and dedication finally earned her the title of Head Coach for the U.S National Wushu Team.

Liu Yu's Book

Liu Yu’s remarkable memoir, Awakening the Sleeping Tiger, invites everyone to experience the golden age of Chinese martial arts, at a time when competitive wushu was the main entertainment for millions of Chinese.

What Our Students Have to Say

I am amazed at how deeply Liu Yu's instruction penetrates me and am regularly surprised at the depth she has to transmit. When I first came to the Wushu Center I was rigid and tight. My training has seemed to melt that all away and has helped me to cultivate my center in life.

I had a few years of experience in internal martial arts before I started instruction with Liu Yu and Norm. Both have a very deep understanding of wushu and offer a very enjoyable learning environment. I highly recommend the wushu tai chi center!

During our second week of Beginner Class, Liu demonstrated a move that challenged everyone in the room. She smiled and said, “don’t worry, it will be easy after two years.” At that moment I realized I was in the perfect class for me, one that did not expect overnight results and was led by one of the finest teachers I have ever had the privilege of working with. Five years later, I show up two nights every week, eager to be taken deeper into detail and so grateful to have such a gifted guide.
