Chinese Internal Arts for Health & Wellbeing
Welcome to the Angus Tai Chi Academy
Our Aims
Under the general guidance of the International Association of Tai Chi and Lok Hup Academies, the aims of the group are:
Facilitate and encourage people to share in the Tai Chi and related arts as taught by Master Moy Lin-Shin
Enable people aged 18 and over from all walks of life to enjoy the benefits of Tai Chi
Provide instruction to allow people to participate in Tai Chi on a regular basis and train volunteer instructors to teach Tai Chi and related arts
Encourage involvement in Tai Chi in local communities
Develop an understanding of the benefits of this form of gentle exercise, as it promotes mental and physical well-being
The Angus Tai Chi Academy teaches 108-move Tai Chi. Our instructors pay particular attention to full extension in all of the movements, a style developed by Master Moy Lin-Shin (1931-1998).
He modified the traditional Yang Style 108-move Tai Chi set to maximize the health benefits for faster health improvement, as he realized that in a modern society, an exercise that was good for health was more important than a martial art for fighting.
The Angus Tai Chi Academy is a proud member of the International Association of TaiChi & Lok Hup Academies.

News & Events
24thApril 2020 - COVID-19
As,
due to the current lockdown situation,
the government has said that gathering in groups is
likely
to be
banned or restricted for some time,
we are obviously unable to say at this point when we are
likely to be able to resume classes.
Since we have no idea when/how restrictions are going to
be relaxed in the coming months, we
will have to
follow the Government's lead and if there are signs that
groups will be able to reform again, the Committee
will look at
what we can do
and when.
In the meantime, we
can do
nothing at the moment,
other than
hope you
and your families
all keep safe and look forward to seeing you again once the
classes resume.
If you are on Facebook, then our closed group is still out there helping keep us connected.
