Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide a system of instruction that will develop each student's physical and mental well being, utilizing Taijiquan and Traditional Chinese Martial Arts techniques and training involving physical exercise, breathing, and meditation. Our goal is to provide instruction to build discipline, self-respect, and awareness of ourselves, along with respect for others. Our teaching is presented with a positive attitude that stresses flexibility, balance, and self-defense, as well as coordination of the mind and body.
- CENTER FOR BODY-MIND HARMONY HAS MOVED INTO THE NAT: On January 3rd we held our first class at the Natatorium in Cuyahoga Falls. We moved our entire Martial Arts program into the NAT. The new classes at the NAT are called Body-Mind Harmony classes or just BMH classes, and are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:15pm to 8:45pm, and Saturdays from 10:00am to 11:30am. Here is a link with additional information about all of the Body-Mind Harmony (BMH) class offerings at the NAT.
