Combat Tai Chi
Tai Chi is best known as a spiritual/health practice similar to yoga. It has many amazing health benefits, but it is in-fact a deadly combat art. Many Tai Chi practitioners know this and have pursued the combat side of Tai Chi. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to find a teacher who understands the high level combat principles of Tai Chi, and many who do are unwilling to teach that information. As a Student this can make developing the advanced combat skills of Tai Chi very difficult.
Fortunately, Tai Chi expert Richard Clear has set out to solve this problem by developing a unique Combat Tai Chi program that will allow Tai Chi practitioner anywhere in the world to learn the high level skills of Combat Tai Chi Chuan. The first workshop dates have just been announced on his blog. http://www.clearstaichi.com/
Mr Clear has spent the last 30 years developing the skills necessary to create a program like this. He says "my consistent focus on learning and teaching students the most authentic arts is in keeping with my vision of making Tai Chi and its health & self defense benefits available to all. As a healer and teacher for over 30 years I know the critical importance of the life enhancement and self-healing benefits of Tai Chi. As a result, I have made a commitment to sharing it with as many people as I Can.” He hopes that his unique Combat Tai Chi program will help Tai Chi practitioners who are looking to develop advanced skills finally find what they have spent years searching for.
