Welcome to the Academy
The Shropshire Tai Chi Academy runs classes throughout Shropshire.
Our Aims
- Facilitate and encourage people to share in the Tai Chi and related arts as taught by Master Moy Lin-Shin.
-
Enable people aged 18 and over from all walks of life to enjoy the benefits of Tai Chi.
- Provide instruction to allow people to participate in Tai Chi on a regular basis and train volunteer instructors to teach Tai Chi and related arts.
- Encourage involvement in Tai Chi in local communities.
- Develop an understanding of the benefits of this form of gentle exercise, as it promotes mental and physical well-being.
The Shropshire Tai Chi Academy teaches 108-move Tai Chi. Our instructors pay particular attention to full extension in all of the movements, a style developed by Master Moy Lin-Shin (1931-1998). He modified the traditional Yang Style 108-move Tai Chi set to maximise the health benefits for faster health improvement, as he realised that in a modern society, an exercise that was good for health was more important than a martial art for fighting.
The Academy is not affiliated with any religious organisations
