SUMMARY:Tai Chi Fundamentals
DESCRIPTION:Get moving with a beginner Tai Chi class by Many Roads Martial Arts Center on Sundays. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:30 AM | Sundays\, May 3 – October 25\, 2026 \n\n\n\nMany Roads Martial Arts Center is offering an introductory Tai Chi class at Lan Su on Sundays at 10:30AM. This class will introduce the fundamental principles of Tai Chi Chaun (or Taijiquan) using the Yang Style 24 Posture Form. We will work on posture and body alignment alongside principles of movement and meditation. We will also discuss how Tai Chi blends health\, meditation\, and martial application. \n\n\n\nThis class is suitable for all levels but will be particularly helpful for beginners of all ages. \n\n\n\n\nGet Admission\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeet the Instructors: Many Roads Martial Arts Center\n\n\n\nJenny Lohr\, Owner/Instructor\n\n\n\nJenny has been practicing Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi since 2005. As the owner of Many Roads Martial Arts Center\, her focus is nurturing a supportive and safe learning environment while challenging everyone to keep growing and improving. Jenny loves the physical and mental challenges of martial arts and is very excited to share them with the students and instructors at the center. \n\n\n\nJay Twitchell\, Instructor\n\n\n\nJay has studied various martial arts systems including boxing\, wrestling\, judo\, karate\, taekwondo\, aikido\, hopkido\, kumdo\, and muay thai kick boxing since he was 10. In other words\, he has been used as a punching bag for over 30 years by masters and lifelong practitioners of these systems. His lifetime of experience getting kicked\, punched\, choked\, kneed\, elbowed\, and thrown are invaluable in teaching others how not to be. Balancing his martial studies\, Jay has 20 years of experience as a massage therapist and movement specialist\, offering him a deep knowledge of the human body and healthy practice. \n\n\n\nMyk Olsen\, Instructor\n\n\n\nMyk has been a Tai Chi Chuan practitioner since 1997 and has been teaching since 2013. His primary teachers were Gao Jamin and Yu Shaowen. Over the years\, Myk has learned a multitude of forms in Yang\, Chen\, Wu\, and Sun styles—both open-hand and weapons (straight sword\, broadsword\, staff\, spear\, cane\, deerhorn knives\, and daggers). While he used to compete in both forms and Push-Hands\, Myk now focuses more time on teaching. His teaching style is student-centered and is focused on achieving a balance between the meditative and martial aspects of the forms. Myk also teaches a Tai Chi class specifically geared toward those with mobility and balance issues on Sunday afternoon. \n\n\n\nJoel\, Instructor\n\n\n\nA lifetime student of martial arts\, Joel has been training Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi since 1999 and teaching since 2009. His teaching goal is to provide tools to improve every student’s physical\, mental\, and emotional health in a supportive\, encouraging learning environment. Joel’s primary teaching focus is Chen Tai Chi as taught by Master George Xu (Xu Guo Ming). He also teaches our black belt Shaolin curriculum\, Yang style Tai Chi\, and 5 Element Qi Gong. \n\n\n\n\nLearn more\n\n\n\n\nOr follow them on social media: Facebook | Instagram \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nParking & Directions\n\n\n\nFree Lan Su Parking\n\n\n\nThere is free first come\, first served parking in our sister lot next to the garden at 424 NW Third Avenue.
