Description:

Course is an introduction to a martial art and discipline for balancing the body, mind, and spirit.

In addition to the physical activities of the class, readings, discussions, and two written assignments related to Tai Chi, Taoist philosophy, and Chinese history provide a deeper understanding of the form and valuable cross-cultural insights. 2 CREDITS
