Glenridge Martial Arts Academy

Tai-Chi Chuan is a branch of the Chinese traditional martial arts that uses the principle of Tai-Chi to guide the movements of the body. It has been widely practiced among the people of China since the 16th century.

Tai-Chi exercises are soft and spiral-like and are often referred to as 'meditation in movement'. The regular practice of Tai-Chi not only slows down the effects of aging and boost the immune system, but it also brings the entire body, organs and nerves into harmony with natural cycles, rhythms and forces.

A regular program of Tai-Chi exercises bestows a number of benefits:

• Relief of neck, should and back pain
• Rehabilitation for high blood pressure, heart diseases, arthritis, diabetes etc.
• Relief from the effects of stress and tension
• The development of a frame of mind for overcoming depression

 

The Tai-Chi program at Glenridge Martial Arts Academy combines Qi Gong and Tai-Chi exercises. Many of our students have experienced positive health and wellbeing changes such as improved balance (which means less falls for seniors), a reduction in allergies and better mental clarity.

Sifu Picard brings years of experience to his classes and continues to expand his knowledge weekly with his masters Helen Wu and Simon Hu in Toronto. This depth of experience is passed down to his students. To experience Qi Gong and Tai-Chi, potential students are always welcome to try a class at no charge.
