Tai Chi Chuan Westchester Tai Chi Chuan Westchester: White Plains, New Rochelle, Yonkers
Tai Chi Chuan is a more modern Chinese martial art than Kung Fu. The focus is on internal (soft) power and in many instances improvement in health
or medical conditions may be the emphasis in class. A typical Tai Chi class may start with some basic exercises followed by slow moving forms. At
varying points in time, depending upon the style, explosive power is used in practicing forms as well. Tai Chi weapons forms are taught and competitive
push hands is practiced to test one’s understanding of the forms. Traditional Tai Chi emphasizes controlling an opponent rather than harming them
initially, but the use of lethal force can be understood over time. Tai Chi has developed numerous styles, including Chen (the original with the greatest
variety of technique) and Shaolin (similar to Chen), followed by Yang (common in the Northeast), Sun, and Wu Tang mountain. Exercise tends to be
anaerobic.
In Westchester County, Tai Chi Chuan is widely available. Scarsdale offers Shaolin, Chen, Yang, Sun, and Wu Tang styles at a minimum. Yonkers, New
Rochelle & White Plains also offer variations, with Yang Tai Chi style being the most common.
