Although an art with great depth of knowledge and skill, it can be easy to learn and soon delivers its health benefits. For many, it continues as a lifetime journey. There are many styles and forms of tai chi, the major ones being Chen, Yang, Wu, Wu (different words in Chinese) and Sun. Each style has its own features, but all styles share the same essential principles. Chen Wangting developed the Chen Style Tai Chi around 1670.</span></p></div> 2023-10-03 10:30:00 -050010/03/23 @ 9:30 a.m.Marion Public LibraryMarion -
