We provide classes, seminars and workshops for individuals and families who want to expand their knowledge of the human mind, body and spirit through holistic methods. It is the philosophy of any system that holds the tactics, techniques and applications together. Without a full understanding of these subtle concepts, a martial art becomes a group of pre-defined movements, void of any true continuity.
Esoma has a well defined philosophy that binds the resulting tactics to create a remarkably well formed art.
Tai Chi is a centuries old Chinese discipline for health, relaxation, balance, flexibility, strength, meditation, self-defense and self-cultivation. It improves circulation, balance, coordination, and helps relax and strengthen the muscular and nervous systems. The stretching movements make the body limber, tone up muscles, and help release tension.
As a meditation, Taiji is a way of harmonizing body, mind and spirit, dynamically. T'ai Chi is normally associated with the slow, graceful movements seen performed early in the morning in Chinese parks. This is the T'ai Chi "form". A series of carefully coordinated movements, slowly flowing together as one continuous movement that work every part of the body, energizing the performer.
T'ai Chi helps to develop harmony with the world on a physical, mental, emotional and ultimately, spiritual level. These movements are derived from the movements of animals and follow a natural, relaxed pattern.
How I Serve Children and Families:
Joe Martin has been teaching Children and Adults martial arts for over 35 years. We prefer to have parents learn along side their children in a class setting that is designed especially for the child. Have you ever wished you could participate with your children in their growth through activities such as sports and physical fitness - year-round? Think of the advantages of learning dutiful respect, proper discipline and appropriate self-confidence where size is not a limiting factor in performance or achievement. Nothing enhances the character of our children better than teaching by example, and there is no better example than those displayed by us, the parent.
About CHI Center for Holistic Instruction:
Center for Holistic Instruction, PLLC It is our philosophy that humans can not live in isolation and therefore the personal growth of the mind, body and spirit is not enough to promote a healthy world. Each of us co-exists within a family and society. Wisdom has been defined as the proper application of accumulative knowledge. What we do with the knowledge we have and how we relate to the ones we come in contact with will not only shape our own destiny, but that of our world as well. It is our belief that as each person heals, so does the planet and universe.
