T'AI CHI CLASSES AT STILL MOUNTAIN T'AI CHI CENTER.
Ongoing classes are held at Third Life Studio at 33 Union Square, Somerville.
Taijiquan ("t'ai chi") is a martial art from the north of China. It is an internal martial art, which means that its power comes from internal energy known as qi (pronounced "chee") and from the natural tenacity of the body's bones, sinews and muscles. Derived from Taoist principles, taiji quan is also a means for personal growth and transformation. To describe it in more familiar terms: if yoga were a martial art, it would be taijiquan.
Bede Bidlack is the director of Still Mountain T'ai Chi Center (Ardmore, PA and Somerville/Cambridge) and has been teaching since 1995. He has lectured widely on oriental and occidental spirituality. He is currently studying Comparative Theology at Boston College. He has been a Coop Member since he moved to Cambridge in 2002.
