As the weather cools down, we’re excited to kick off a new season of outdoor Tai Chi sessions starting in late October!

Over the years, Tai Chi Club has proudly introduced and shared with the public a variety of routines:

• 👐 24 Movements Tai Chi Hand Form (September 2023 – June 2025)
• 🗡️ 32 Movements Tai Chi Sword Routine (October 2024 – April 2025)
• 🌸 Simplified Tai Chi Fan Routine (Club version, July 2025 – still ongoing at EBRP main library)

We recognize that everyone has different interests. Some may prefer only the hand form, while others are more drawn to the sword or fan routines. While it’s not possible to meet every preference in a single class, we strive to offer something for everyone, and most importantly, continue to grow as a community.

🌟 Preparing for Lunar New Year 2026 Performance

Looking ahead, Tai Chi Club is honored to have been invited to perform at the Lunar New Year Celebration hosted by the EBRP Main Library on March 14, 2026.

The performance will feature:

• A Sword Routine
• A Fan Routine
• and a Hand from demonstration

To prepare, we will use the upcoming outdoor sessions to review and polish all three forms — including both techniques and choreography — in preparation for this exciting event.

Please note: These sessions are for REVIEW AND POLISH only, and are not intended for beginners. We will review all movements in sections and chirography the show together during the sessions.
