The CUTQ class instructors, and the generous contributions of students who have been practicing for a long time, offer the best Taiji teaching I have encountered in central Illinois. I really value the Qi Gong, conditioning exercises, form study/practice and meditation practice offered in Urbana. Three benefits I notice after less than a year of study: much less arthritic pain in shoulders, wrists and knees; better ability to remain grounded and present, even in difficult situations, and the pleasure of practicing with really wonderful people.
I practiced Taiji before, but this program has given me a much deeper understanding of the art by integrating all its elements, from qigong exercises to forms, from push-hands to meditation. The clear instruction and supportive group spirit make each class enjoyable and rewarding. I am well into my eighth decade, but Taiji keeps me feeling young.
Meditation and movement sequences (forms) I have learned in my practice of Chen Style Taiji have benefited me in numerous ways. Improved balance, agility, flexibility, as well as personal patience are a few of those benefits. I have always enjoyed the friendships made and the energy of the group and look forward to going each week.
