Chans Martial Arts - Shao Chi Chuan: A complete, stress-free, self-defense system. Sing Ong Tai Chi: Balance with NatureShao Chi Chuan has been developed through the application of modern biomechanical principles, coupled with the ancient and ultra-sophisticated art of Tai Chi. This unique system of self-defense was founded and developed in Christchurch, New Zealand by Grandmaster Chan in 1975. It has since grown into an international entity, with schools throughout New Zealand, as well as in Australia, the UK and USA.
Tai Chi is a martial art known for its calm movements and reliance on accuracy and softness, rather than strength and brute force, to overcome opponents. The result is a highly effective and precise martial art that equips students with a comprehensive set of techniques and tactics for self-defense, whilst simultaneously encouraging relaxed and efficient movement.
Sing Ong Tai Chi stretches the muscles, frees up the joints, relaxes and correctly aligns the body, has natural breathing, and promotes circulation, leading to some of the amazing health benefits. With the correct intent, timing and feeling; the movements are totally natural and in proportion for the body.
The Sydney branch has a strong instructor base with decades of experience between them. Currently the class ratio of 2:1 of instructors to student allows for careful mentoring and is a rarity in modern martial arts schools.

Secondly, the scientific thought process behind the techniques provides a very well rounded and practical syllabus for self defence, similar to the practical philosophies of Bruce Lee. The techniques taught at Chans consist of a variety of long range and short range fighting techniques to deal with a wide range of opponents that could be encountered in real ...read more
