The experience has been very educational and rewarding.&nbsp;&nbsp;Tom makes you feel right at home and really provides a great opportunity to learn this art at your own pace. He is obviously very experienced and skilled at what he teaches. Tom has a great ability to observe his students precisely and give the feedback you need when you need it without overpowering you.&nbsp;&nbsp;I certainly recommend it to anyone.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><br><br> <strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#8212;<em> Frank Fahrlander<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T\u2019ai Chi Ch\u2019uan is an ancient Chinese martial art and health practice that exercises the body, mind, and spirit.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The flowing movements act as a moving meditation that gently works muscles, improves focus, and increases the flow of vital energy, or chi, through the body.
