Santa Ana College — 2024 Summer Semester Schedule

Class Descriptions:

Tai Chi Chuan – Level 1 and 2 Combined

In this combined summer session, students will practice the basic exercises of Yang style Tai Chi, which studies have shown can help lower blood pressure, improve balance, build up strength, increase flexibility, and more. Level 1 students and beginners will work on learning basic techniques while Level 2 students will work on their respective forms.

Note: Although we teach the original self-defense applications of Tai Chi movements, there is no sparring or fighting in our classes. Safety comes first and we do what we can to avoid the risk of injury while practicing this gentle art.
