Paducah Tai Chi
"As you grow more relaxed, you become less afraid. As you
become less afraid you grow more relaxed."
- Professor Cheng Man Ch'ing
Paducah Tai Chi is dedicated to the development and integration of balance and quality into the lives of
individuals and the community through the principles and philosophy of Tai Chi.
By moving slowly, mindfully, and in a
relaxed state we learn how to listen to
ourselves, and deal with our
surroundings more effectively. As a
result, we become aware of things that
may have never been in the foreground
of our being before. Awareness naturally
leads to understanding, and
understanding leads to growth.
In Tai Chi we train our bodies to seek
harmony instead of conflict, neutralize
opposition instead of defend against it,
and reconnect to our vital life energy. The
mind then naturally follows what the
body is learning.
This leads us to a self knowledge that is
rich and deep, and equips us optimally for
genuine, qualitative, and lasting change.
*Even though Tai Chi is a gentle art you should always consult your doctor before starting a new
exercise program.
