issuing of whole body power based on proper bio-mechanics and relaxation. While
it is an important principle to learn to maximize the martial effectiveness of
taiji, fajin also has health benefits and can improve bone density and ligament
and tendon strength. This workshop is suitable for all levels as beginners and
experts of all styles will benefit and improve their understanding and practice

developing striking power.
Chen Style TaiJi Quan (Tai Chi) is considered the source of the major styles of
Tai Chi. The founders of both Yang Style and Wu style trained at the Chen
Village, then left and opened their art to the public. While those styles spread
and became popular, Chen style continued to be taught only in the Chen village
and was not as well known. Now the secret is out, and Chen TaiJi is gaining in
popularity as people discover the silk reeling exercises and coiling movements
of this style. Register soon to reserve your spot for this unique opportunity to
learn from one of the best!
