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.
