IDEA, SPIRIT and ENERGY
Health is much more than taking care of the body - the mind is probably even more important. This counters psychosomatic illness, poor self image, boredom, etc.
To obtain and maintain good health, one must have a healthy lifestyle. Basically three factors are involved (i) a sensible diet (ii) regular exercise, and (iii) limiting and coping with stress.
TAI CHI PRACTICE facilitates the development of physical health and emotional well being in accordance with the principles of Internal Energy.
You must take a holistic approach to both your body and your lifestyle.

Through regular practice of Tai Chi Chuan you will soon feel more energised, calm and positive towards life in general.
This ancient Chinese art of body and mind harmony can be described as a combination of yoga and calisthenics. The result of its practice include the health benefits of both, allied with the restorative effects of meditation.
Bruno is a qualified instructor of over 35 years experience. At his Northcote Tai Chi Club he teaches beginners, intermediate and advanced students.
At the beginners and intermediate stages the emphasis is on the HEALTH aspect of Tai Chi , while at the advanced stage more attention is paid to the martial art aspect in unison with health and well being
MY APPROACH TO TEACHING TAI CHI:
Wednesdays 6 to 7 pm is the time set for beginners classes. Every February (1st Wednesday) and August (1st Wednesday) I accept enrolments for beginners.
YOUR JOURNEY IN EASY STEPS:
I teach Wu Style Tai Chi, which consist of 108 postures (the Long Form) broken down into single, clear movements. First you will learn the Square Form, later rounded up as a continuous Long Flowing River (comparable to the activity of a silk worm reeling silk).
It takes close to a Semester to learn the 108 postures to a reasonably competent level for beginners.
Once learned, the Tai Chi Form must be practiced once daily (approx 20 minutes) for optimum results. This gentle but intense exercise lubricates the joints and strengthens the body while calming the mind in a manner similar to meditation, with obvious beneficial health results.
At the end of a Semester you will be able to move to the intermediate class on Mondays 6 to 7 pm, where the Tai Chi Form is further refined and the teaching becomes personalized to cover the wide range of experiences encountered by individuals of different physical and psychological inclination.
ABOUT WU STYLE TAI CHI:
This style of Tai Chi is rather energetic and not suitable for people over sixty; there are, however, exceptions to every rule - I have had students over sixty with more strength of character and determination than many a young person.
NATURAL PROGRESSION:
Ideally you should practice hard while young, then slow down in accordance with age.
WANT MORE?:
ambitious young /and not so young students eager to learn the Martial Art aspect of Tai Chi will eventually move to the advanced class on Mondays( 6 to 8.30 pm, where you will practice higher levels of the Form, Push Hands, Technical Exercises and Boxing routines.
