Tai Chi Chuan 

Tai Chi simply means grand ultimate. When the word chuan is added, it denotes the martial art of tai chi.

Initially practiced slowly in order to integrate the body and mind, many people all over the world participate in this art for health reasons, but the abilities of its adepts are without equal in real self defense situations.

Aside from these reasons to study the art, its abilities to bring the mind and body into stillness in movement, and movement in stillness will help you to gain a new appreciation of your internal environment.
