Works with Natural Structure and Function

Having taken classes in T’ai Chi before, I find T’ai Chi Chih easier to do. The movements are simpler, without being dramatic such as “snake crawls on grass & crane strikes” movement from T’ai Chi Chu’an. In my experience, in addition to being easier for the average person to learn and do, TCC seems to be equally effective.

Throughout my adult life, I’ve endeavored to learn the most natural forms of dance, martial arts, exercise, and movement that work with the natural structure and function of the body and therefore have the least potential for injury. At this point, Rosen Method Movement, Han Shi Yiqhuan, Erick Hawkins Modern Dance Technique, Bartenieff Fundamentals and TCC are very therapeutic, simple, and elegant in how they work with the natural structure and movements of the body. I really appreciate that when I do TCC my body moves in a most natural way, efficiently and without extraneous effort.
