Sure, one can always do the set alone, but completing it with others- whether in regular classes or at various festivals and workshops throughout the year-is an integral and powerful part of the Society's practice. August 14th promises the largest group in the history of the organization to be completing the set at the same time.
Research and education
Master Moy refined the instructional methods of the arts he had mastered from his teachers in the East to maximize the health-promoting qualities. Today the Society continues research into the healing effects of the Taoist Tai Chi internal arts of health on the body and mind.
The Society's medical advisor, Dr. Bruce McFarlane, contributes a regular series of articles explaining the anatomy and physiology in relation with these arts on the Society's popular blog, www.thetigersmouth.
In addition to maintenance of general health and well-being, the Society offers a robust program of health recovery classes for people whose quality of life is seriously compromised by illness or injury at its main campus near Orangeville, Ontario, and at other locations in its global organization.
