Tang is the founder of Oriental Fitness Institute, an advisor to the USA
Wushu-Kung Fu Federation, a certified teacher of Tai Chi & Qigong and has

experience to give an unforgettable demonstration, assisted by New Horizons’ own Executive
Director & certified Tai Chi instructor, Elissa Berardi.
Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art, an
“internal art”, that is practiced in deliberate but flowing movements as slowly
as possible with deep relaxing breathing. While the motion
appears slow, soft and effortless it nevertheless strengthens the body. The
slow movements help align and balance the body’s
internal energy paths, enabling chi or qi (internal energy) to flow freely
through the body. The process relaxes and invigorates the body while clearing
and focusing the mind. Tai Chi can improve
flexibility, balance and overall health while helping
to combat stress.
