Tai Chi taught as a sophisticated martial art.
On Wednesday August 30 from 6:00-7:00pm
Elaine Waters will demonstrate the choreographed
tai chi routine that will be taught using
‘body mechanics” which allow this fluid exercise
to be able to be used as a soft-style martial art.
Tai Chi taught as a sophisticated martial art is
a beginning level tai chi class that covers the esoteric paradoxes of how soft and fluid movement
can be developed over time to include the alignment necessary for practical applications.
Elaine Waters instructs all tai chi classes with emphasis on understanding movement principles
called tai chi body mechanics. 

Sign up for either weekly class at this free event to receive your first 4 week session for only $40.
 Elaine shares her deep understanding
of Tai Chi principles,
and demonstrates
​ relevant practical applications. ​​

Elaine Waters takes complex and potentially
esoteric concepts, and delineates
them into simple,
easy to understand ideas.
 Memorize the postures of the Yang Style Tai Chi Form. 
Each person memorizes the sequence of tai chi movements at their own pace! 
While learning a tai chi posture,
each element in tai chi is learned separately.
Alignment and body mechanics are specific
so that the result is effortless power
as a soft style martial art.

Some "hands on" experience will be offered
 so students may experience
the energetics we are learning.
This material is sequential and consecutive class attendance is required.

TAI CHI PUSH HANDS:
TAI CHI PUSH HANDS
​will be coming soon to
Clarksville, AR  tai chi schedule.
In Tai Chi Push Hands players exchange moves attempting to cause a loss of balance.
​ Tai Chi is based on a system of non-aggression. Tai chi uses leverage, yielding, and softness to allow the opponent to lose their own balance!
TAI CHI PUSH HANDS 
In tai chi push hands, we attempt to put into action, the strategies of the Taoist classics.
Softness overcomes hardness, doing less is more,
and we use minimum effort to
attain maximum effect.
Push hands emphasizes the value of
yielding and relaxing,
and the disadvantage of
resisting and using tension.
Tai Chi postures are exchanged in push hands in a dynamic and spontaneous interaction.
