Authentic Wu Style Tai Chi
Instructor Dave Woods learned Tai Chi in Shaolin, China
Tai Chi was not a part of Dave's plan in his early martial arts career, but when he traveled to the Shaolin Temple in China to study Shaolin Kung Fu, it was a required part of the daily training. Dave learned form 24, form 42, and a straight sword Tai Chi form, and gladly passes this on to his students.
Dave was beat with a stick for making any mistakes while learning in China, but in his classes is very patient. Students are challenged but can rest reassured there is no pressure to learn at a fast pace. The essence of Tai Chi is "slow down."
