“I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy Tae Kwon Do and how much I admire Grand Master Blair.  It gives me confidence in myself and challenges me.  I want to encourage other women to try this and let them know it doesn't matter your age.  It is never too late to try something new!" -Gina

 "Master Blaire has been an inspirational teacher.  Not only does he teach Tae Kwon Do to all of us, but he makes sure each student understands and comprehends the task at hand." - Nick Jones

What began as an ancient Chinese martial art is now practiced throughout the world for its profound benefits to health and wellness. Tai Chi is recognized by its slow, graceful, meditative movements. This session teaches the basic conditioning exercises and a short practice routine which lays the foundation for further study. The result is a stronger, more flexible body, free of tension, increasing the body’s ability to heal itself. Tai Chi can be practiced anywhere and all that is required is loose, comfortable attire. This course is suitable for a variety of ages, teenagers through senior citizens.
