Glenn's Tai Chi

Tai Chi is an exercise activity, that when practiced daily, is good for physical and mental fitness. I have been practicing Tai Chi for 34 years and teaching almost 20 years. ​Although Tai Chi has its origins as a martial art, it is now popular for its fitness benefits. It is rooted in Chinese culture but spread throughout the world. It consists of dynamic, fluid, relaxed, graceful movements and postures. You can join in with my classes.
