New Beginner Tai Chi Class Starting in March

We are excited to announce a new Beginner Tai Chi class beginning at the start of March at Anderson Japanese Gardens.

Our 6:15-7:15 PM class on Wednesdays and Thursdays has been a tremendous success, and we are currently unable to accept additional students at that time. We are very grateful for the strong interest and support from our community.

Due to that demand, we are opening a second beginner class:

Class Details:

• Class Days: Wednesday and Thursday
• Time: 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM
• Location: Anderson Japanese Gardens, Main Building
• Cost: $65 per month (covers both weekly classes)
  (Payment options: cash or check payable to Rockford Traditional Martial Arts)

This class is designed specifically for beginners – no experience necessary.

Students will learn: 

• Gentle warm ups for flexibility and joint health
• Proper stance and posture for strength and balance
• Qigong breathing exercises for relaxation and focus
• Step-by-step Tai Chi form instruction
• Practical applications behind the movements

What to Bring:

• Comfortable clothing to stretch and move in
• Water (optional)

Tai Chi is a traditional martial art known for improving balance, strength, coordination, and mental clarity. It is an excellent way to reduce stress and build a consistent wellness routine.
