Yin, Yang and Effortless Movement
Originally one of the ancient Chinese martial arts, Tai Chi is practiced today primarily as a method of exercise that cultivates physical and mental harmony in movement. Its slow, fluid forms are based on the Chinese principle of yin and yang, with an emphasis on relaxed, effortless movement — making it ideal for people of all ages.
Alpha’s program is structured for beginners and periodically holds free introductory lessons. Initial instruction focuses on the traditional Yang-style of long-form Tai Chi.
Instructor Eugene Katz has been teaching Yang Style Old Frame Tai Chi Chuan since 2009, with a lineage tracing to Grand Master Xiong YangHe through Tai-Chun Pan. In 2019, Eugene competed with other students of this style in Taiwan and took first place in basic form; his free hand and weapons Tai Chi forms regularly take first place at I.P.P.O.N.E. and Virtual World Tournaments.
