Tai Chi Ch'uan Wu Style

Sifu John Marchewitz is an instructor from the Michigan Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan & Chi Kung Institute in Royal Oak. He also trained at the Kung Fu Academy in Hong Kong. At Rochester Community House, three levels of Tai Chi are offered.

Beginning Tai Chi

Tai Chi Ch'uan is a "soft-style" Chinese martial art. Its slow, repetitive movements open internal circulation, and improve strength, agility, and balance. through this moving meditation, one learns both coordination and relaxation. Every muscle in the body is gently trained. The 108 forms move the body through a complete, natural, range of motion. Over time, one can see reduction of stress and increase of natural energy.
