Tai Chi

Yangshuo is a quite friendly city for many activities and entertainments, but Tai Chi is not a common one among them as almost every city in China you can see people practicing this form of martial arts in the squares and parks in the early morning or late afternoon. However, the heaven-born natural landscape in Yangshuo makes it a good place to explore the world of Tai Chi.

Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art primarily practiced for its health benefits, including a means for dealing with tension and stress. Like many other martial arts, it is a way of life. Tai Chi has its own systematic philosophy; it emphasized complete relaxation and is essentially a form of meditation; to put it simply, it is about finding the balance of your life and in everything you do. It takes many years to master the art of Tai Chi, so do not expect to become a Tai Chi master in a few lessons and exercise.

Yangshuo has several Tai Chi schools and some good qualified private Tai Chi coaches. In general, they all offer tailor-made Tai Chi courses according to your levels of ability and depending on what you want. Tai Chi masters in Yangshuo are mainly expert in Chen-style Tai Chi and Yang-style Tai Chi. Except Tai Chi for fluidity, balance and coordination, in Yangshuo you can also study Qigong for sensations and rooting, Push-hands for application, Massage for relaxation and Yoga for flexibility and balance.
