Tucson Sino Taiji Group
About the group
Tucson Sino Taiji Group was founded in 2007. Since its establishment, the group has grown from 10 members to 20 or so regular members. The goal of our group is to improve the health of our members and to promote the awareness of Taiji in Tucson community.
The group has been actively involved in local community activities since its establishment. We had performed in many cultural events both in Tucson and Phoenix, such as Tucson Meet Yourself, 4th Street Fair, Chinese New Year and Chinese Autumn Festival Concerts.
About Taiji
Taiji is an ancient Chinese martial art that has been practiced for over two thousand years in China. It has spread worldwide, especially to the West in recent years. This form of martial arts is the combination of slow movements with deep breathing. Various Taiji forms and styles are practiced to improve physical and mental health. A few websites on Taiji and its benefits are listed below:
