Is Chen Tai Chi Powerful? Yes, it is!
Chen Tai Chi, also known as Chen Taijiquan, is the original progenitor of all Tai Chi styles. This comprehensive system offers practitioners a dual path: a means to cultivate health and wellness, and an opportunity to master a complete martial arts discipline. Whether seeking vitality or self-defense skills, Chen Tai Chi provides a rich, multifaceted practice that harmonizes mind and body.
Doctors are also members of Generation Chi!
"Talk therapy is overrated. I send my clients over to Ren because I believe there is a bottom up approach where your mind improves from the clarity you get from Tai Chi, and feeling strong, and more at home in your body."
"When you are out of acute pain, and want to prevent it from happening again, you've got to make changes in your life, and Tai Chi is the perfect way to do that. It's a whole body exercise, and if you suspend your disbelief and give it time to go forward, you almost never have come back for injections."
