A complete program from basic to advanced levels. This style is known for its speed, agility and flexibility.

It utilizes both long range and close quarter tactics, grabbing and trapping strategies and take-down techniques.

Practicing this style develops coordination, builds up good reflexes and improves mental focus in order to remain calm in any fighting situation.

Students from absolute novices in the martial arts to previous practitioners of other martial arts are welcome.

Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan

This gentle, classical exercise form is designed to improve health, develop inner energy (chi) and teach how to use minimal force against a stronger opponent.

This program teaches mental concentration and relaxation as well as practical, but non-aggressive self-defense techniques. By practicing this system, one will relax the body, reduce stress and improve circulation.

This program is suitable for people who seek a less strenuous activity or those who are physically limited but wish to gain the benefits of health and self-defense.
