Chris Worcester, of Truckee, CA teaches TCC in eight sessions, limiting the class to eight students. A sampling from his flyer reads:

“T’ai Chi Chih is a form of moving meditation based on the Chinese philosophy of promoting vitality, inner peace, serenity, joy, balance and health, performed in a series of twenty simple non-strenuous movements that relax the body and refresh the mind.

The form is easy to learn and the benefits are experienced soon after beginning the practice. The movements can be performed by anyone, regardless of age, or physical condition, wherever there is enough space to stand and take one step in any direction.

George Balliet, Merced, CA presented TCC in the “Self Care” segment during the 1st Annual Home Based Business Conference and Trade Show at Merced College this September. Literature indicated that the use of T’ai Chi Chih and Seijaku, non-impact health disciplines, led to stress reduction, was an aid to health and healing–releasing tension safely and naturally with a unique combination of physical movements and postures.

Jeanne Beatty-Jacobs, Lynnwood, WA: Picture is of a T’ai Chi Chih demonstration presented at Washington Karate Association State Tournament for 350 people. Most of the students were black belts in Karate. The presentation was enthusiastically received and comments from the audience were how relaxed they felt just watching us go through the movements!
