Martial Arts Classes

We offer a wide range of Martial Arts classes across our Centres for adults and children. Check out our Timetables for times.

T’ai Chi (Chen Family Style) at Poulton Community YMCA.

T’ai Chi (Taiji) is a Chinese Martial Art dating back to the 16th Century. The beauty of Taiji is that it can be used as a health system without really touching the martial arts aspect of the discipline. Chen Family Style T’ai Chi is the parent style with all other styles evolving from it.

The gentle turning and spiraling movements can benefit people of all ages and abilities, aiding memory improvement, focus and concentration. The mind and body connection greatly improves general health and well being.
