Welcome
The Tai Chi Qigong Centre was founded in 1995 by Colin and Mitzi Orr – who have now sadly both passed away – when they felt there was a need for a good quality and sincere health-promoting program based on the practice of the internal arts of Tai Chi and Qigong. They taught a genuine health promoting program and over the years they developed an easy step by step learning syllabus that gently guides the student through the learning process. The original authentic Yang Cheng-fu Tai Chi style was taught, based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles of revitalizing the internal energy.
When they stepped down in 2019, they handed over to the remaining fully experienced instructors.
The TCQC teaching encompasses three inseparable elements, which are: Tai Chi, Qigong and Relaxation. This combination forms the main body of the learning program; embracing the Yang Cheng-fu and Yang Lu Chan forms as its main Tai Chi foundation including the weapons disciplines, specializing in simple but dynamic Tai Chi and Qigong, developing awareness, well being, learning to relax and to breathe correctly maintaining the immune system to a natural level.
Philosophy & description of the Tai Chi Qigong Centre Identity:
The TCQC logo badge construction consists of a black and white Yin / Yang symbol: a perfect circle divided by two equal curving halves, depicting the duality and opposing aspects of nature, this symbol is overlaid by the Chinese characters from the I-Ching ‘Book of Change’ No: 1 Hexagram defined as ‘Creative Energy’ and coloured red. The colour changes within the five Element Syllabus.
The Club Slogan is: ‘
Promoting a better understanding of alternative disciplines for a healthier longer life.’
In memory of Colin & Mitzi Orr
