So why did you ask for classes if you don't want to pay?

its like kung fu, only slower

its like kung fu, only slower

tai chi is kung fu


the forms are slow, because it takes better conditioning and skill to do so slowly then quickly.


its more fluid than Shaolin, Wing Tsun, and the other kung fu styles that came before it, and has a softer, passive aggresive nature like aikido [ japanese ]
that uses your oponents own momentum and force against them.

i studied tai chi and shaolin kung fu at yonge and welesely

I think Parks and Rec offer classes as well, and may end up being cheaper.

Combined with Level 4 Tae Bo, you'll be a wrecking machine!

If you're a student at UofT you should take classes with Philip Mo at Hart House.

Or, at the Queen West Community Health Centre they offer free tai chi classes. They're located on Bathurst St. just south of Queen West. Call for more info: 416-703-8482x100
