Alongside the Tai Chi teaching, we like to encourage and support people's basic health and fitness. This includes aerobic conditioning, and strength and endurance training. Master San Gee Tam has developed the practice of Pa Kua, one of the ancient, internal martial arts, into a 'Super Fitness' system.
In this system, there are a large set of conditioning exercises, ranging from simple flexibility exercises to very energetic Chi Kung forms. Also, we teach a couple of forms of Pa Kua: one beginner's form, and another form which incorporates some of the Small Circle Tai Chi technology. Pa Kua is quite different in appearance to Tai Chi as it moves in a circle and is practiced much faster and more energetically than Tai Chi.
Master San Gee Tam is also currently teaching Hsing-I in his Super Fitness classes, which is the third, classic, internal martial art.
