Common Core Tai Chi Chuan was created by Tai Chi Master Zhao Wei Dong.  This unique system of training develops the internal movement and body mechanics that lie underneath all styles of genuine tai chi chuan.  Common Core training is ideal for students with some previous exposure to tai chi or qigong.  Students are taught how to take their practice to the next level by training the body using the correct posture, breathing, and movement mechanics that are common within all styles of genuine Tai Chi Chuan practice.   Common Core training requires greater balance, fitness and mental focus to perform than a typical seniors health class.  Common Core skills improve all styles of tai chi practice and can be used to develop the practice as a martial art. 

Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi is a set of Qigong exercises which is based on the philosophy of Tai Chi and extracts some of the best movements from the Yang style Tai Chi Chuan. It places emphasis on synchronizing the 18 movements with proper breathing techniques. It is a gentle, beautiful and flowing Qigong exercise routine that is both a joy to do and deeply relaxing.

Tai Chi Qigong Shibashi is designed to improve the general health and wellbeing of the practitioner. The gentle rocking motions and stretching movements improve circulation and digestion. The chest exercises and controlled breathing are good for lung conditions and asthma. And the overall effect of the exercise is to reduce mental stress and physical tension carried in the muscles of the body. This Qigong is very effective and easy to learn. The gentle movements doubled by the rhythmic breathing are suitable for people of all ages as it does not put too much stress on muscles and joints if done correctly and can be practiced sitting or standing. It is practiced around the world by over 10 million people, and is considered a national health exercise in Malaysia and Indonesia.
