The name of our Tasmanian Tai Chi Chuan school means the following.

It is entitled Li Chi Hsiang to reflect three governing philosophical concepts arising from the Yi -Jing, book of changes. Li Chi Hsiang is NOT a branch, style or new system of Tai Chi Chuan.

• Li 理 = Principle, that which governs movement in Tai Chi, (inner essence)
• Chi  氣 = Breath or intrinsic energy, meaning the energy which animates or enlivens a human being, and
• Hsiang 象 ​= form or manifestation, meaning in this instance the manifestation of Tai Chi Chuan principle and function.

Fundamentally the school is so named to remind us of the importance of constantly nurturing these three vital concepts in daily practice and study of the Yang style short form (Cheng Man Ching 37 posture form).

Inner Health reflects that we are a branch of the Inner Health Tai Chi Chuan school in Adelaide.

​If diligently studied this ancient Chinese Taoist martial art can lead to better health, mental well-being and effective self-defense.
