Tai chi (Taiji) is a Chinese martial art that is primarily known in North America for its health benefits, namely in the Yang Style of Tai Chi Chuan. Tai Chi originated as a self-defence method that is still seen in both the Wu and Chen Styles of Tai Chi Chuan while still providing its health benefits. Tai chi emphasizes relaxation and flowing movements. Lessons are taught in Yang, Wu and Chen family styles. Classes are taught by either Sifu Chan, Sifu Lee, Sifu Leung, or Sifu Liu.

TRANSLATION:
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, descended to this world,
Showing people the love and spirit of the cross deep in His sacrifice;
Martial artists are drawn so near to Him and worship His power in unity,
Their heart of worship, filled with respect and modesty, is ever conveyed by their intellectual wisdom and physical skills.
TRANSLATION:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.”
Luke 1:46-46 (NIV)
