Wind River Internal Martial Arts for Health and Enlightenment - Tucson

Tai Chi, Yi Chuan and Qi Gong

The practice of Internal Martial Art for health and enlightenment reduces stress and improves many areas of the practitioner's life. Tai Chi and Qi Gong have been used to ease arthritis pain, develop structural body strength, enhance balance, increase flexibility and deepen spiritual awareness. Tai Chi, Yi Chuan and Q i Gong are very old and holistic disciplines for increasing the flow of Qi through the body's meridian system, and are time tested systems of relaxation and exercise designed to promote health maintenance and spiritual well being. At the same time they also have serious applicability to self defense.

Classes at Wind River Tai Chi are focused primarily on Yang style Tai Chi Chuan as taught by Grandmaster Sam Tam. Our focus is on developing, and cultivating the feeling and use of Qi in all areas of our practice and our lives. Through the practice of Tai Chi and Yi Quan's Zhan Zhang standing meditation as handed down from Wang Xiang Zhai, Han Hsing-Yuen and Master Sam Tam our students are able to develop their skills based on world class instruction.

The focus of our practice is on correct internal principal as demonstrated and taught by Master Tam. The core of the program is developed from Yi Quan's Zhan Zhuang standing meditation practice, Qi development and hands on training with Master Tam. You will learn about internal strength and energy developed via a hands on learning experience of mind/body connections. Internal strength and the ability to understand, feel and use internally generated energy develops and strengthens any martial or sports endevour.

The purpose of Wind River IMA is to introduce and spread Grand Master Tam's unique teachings of Internal Martial Arts for Health and Enlightenment, and share a way of life that uses his art to cultivate and strengthen the whole person. Grandmaster Tam's students span the world from San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Tucson, Europe, New Zealand to Japan.
