About the
Aiping Tai Chi & Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy
The Aiping Tai Chi & Wu Dang Kung Fu Academy was established by
Grandmaster Aiping Cheng, an internationally recognized authority on
Chinese martial art forms who has earned Beijing’s highest martial arts
honor, a rating of Top World Skill Level. She is widely considered to be one
of the most knowledgeable and technically skilled practitioners of both Tai
Chi and Wushu-KungFu in the world.
She has established the Center as a learning community where Americans
can find new ways to improve the quality of their lives and become familiar
with China’s cultural treasures. The Center is located in a comfortable, quiet
setting just off the Post Road in Orange, Connecticut. Visitors are always
welcome.
At the Academy, Grandmaster Aiping offers adults and children beginning,
intermediate, and advanced level classes. She also offers private lessons.
She teaches a wide variety of courses, ranging from Tai Chi and the Mystery
of Chi to Wushu-Kungfu and Techniques of Self-defense. Students, who
choose, have the opportunity to attend workshops on special topics,
participate in public demonstrations, and compete in martial arts
tournaments.
Grandmaster Aiping’s primary focus throughout is on health, well-being,
order, balance and harmony. Though few will need to defend themselves
against an assailant, all can use the lessons learned to better face the
challenges of every day life.
The Chinese martial art forms taught at the Aiping Center can generally be
divided into two groups – the soft martial arts such as Tai Chi and the hard
martial arts such as Wushu-Kungfu. Both the soft and the hard forms are
effective defense disciplines, popular competitive sports, and highly
beneficial for mind and body.
The gentle flowing movements of Tai Chi are, in reality, a safe and highly
effective isometric exercise. Unlike many other forms of exercise, the brain
must be engaged at all times. Regular Tai Chi practice can improve balance,
strength, flexibility, memory, coordination, well-being, the ability to
concentrate, and the ability to manage stress.
The high-energy movements of Wu Shu Kung Fu, featured in the movie
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also require the continuous involvement
of the mind. Regular practice improves timing, agility, coordination, strength,
endurance, discipline, self-confidence, memory, ability to concentrate, and
the ability to manage stress
