The relaxed way helps prevent injury and also enables m o r e e f f e c t iv e p o w e r. P hy s i c a l relaxation is not engaging muscles which oppose one’s own action, thus generating more power. The course is open to beginners and experts. Martial artists already in training will find this knowledge useful to supplement their own disciplines. Abilities taught include ChinNa (joint l o ck a n d e s c a p e ) , G o l d e n B e l l (resilience to injury), and One-inch and Zero-inch punches (Chunjin: the most important ability due to the close range nature of actual self defense situations). Wednesday (During academic year) Tai Chi Club Class Tai Chi 太極拳 is a Chinese martial art, health exercise, and meditation method based on Taoist philosophy that emphasizes deep relaxation of m i n d a n d b o d y. I n Ta i C h i , meditation is practiced sitting, standing, and while moving, and can thus be applied to any situation in life. This helps one achieve better performance in one's activities and can enhance creativity, health, and power in martial arts. In addition to the mind-body approach of awareness practice, Tai Chi also uses a body-qi-mind 精氣神 approach which recognizes that a healthy body supports a healthy mind.
