Did a cold plunge at Stony Brook Holistic Wellness today where our Tai Chi classes are held four times weekly. It's a great experience with plenty of benefits for both mind and body including reduced inflammation in the body. In five minutes you can truly feel energized and amazing.

Our friday night class focuses exclusively on the rarely taught martial art of Tai Chi Chuan. This fully functional Kung Fu style is taught through a full range of perspectives from a traditional martial art to self defense to a sport (MMA, Kickboxing, Grappling, etc.) style.

We teach and practice Zhan Zhuang (Standing Stake Qigong) in our classes along with many other forms of Qigong, Neigong (internal skill, Chi cultivation methods) and Meditation as well as Tai Chi Chuan for health and martial arts.

"Feeling Qi in Zhangzhuang"
When a practitioner stands in zhànzhuāng (站桩), the simple yet demanding exercise often described as "standing like a tree" or "post standing", unexpected sensations often arise. We have a new article on this feeling at www.qi-journal.com/3462

This is an important footwork line drill Shifu Justin Guerin teaches in Tai Chi Chuan classes. It comes up repeatedly in the 24 form and practicing it helps isolate those movements from the whole body movements used in complete Tai Chi postures which can be beneficial to learning proper stances and footwork. It shifts between Person Footstep (Ding Bu) to Seven Star Stance (Xiu Li Bu) to Bow Stance (Gong Bu).

Do you practice Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) and Qigong with a Tai Chi Ball? A Tai Chi Ball can add new elements to your training and roundness, which is a fundamental characteristic of Yang Style Tai Chi. This drill shows the Yang Style Tai Chi movements (Postures) called Wardoff (Peng), Rollback (Lu), Press (Ji) and Push (An) collectively known as Grasp The Sparrow's Tail (Lan Que Wei) while training with a Tai Chi Ball.
