TAI CHI FOR SKIERS
Instructor Joe Kahn is offering Tai Chi at the Amos and Julia Ward theatre in Jay, Tuesday evenings at 5:30pm starting October 16^th.

Tai Chi is an ancient martial art/health practice that originated in China and has spread throughout the world. It is known for slow flowing movements that enhance balance, circulation, leg strength, relaxation, blood pressure and attitude.  Less well know are the two person activities that add dynamic energy interaction. These activities help develop core power, body awareness, energy flow and improved balance while being acted upon by outside forces. The course shall use both practice techniques. We will be adding some new activities picked up at clinics. These will be directed at loosening the shoulders and building core power. Students who have taken the class in other years will move more; quickly into advanced tow person activities.

Our course will be aimed mainly at cross country skiers but will be beneficial to all those who participate in other sliding sports or wish to become more stable in everyday life during the upcoming winter. We have had both boarders and down hillers say these activities were helpful.  Also, we did some of our exercises with the PSIA  x-c instructors clinic and it was very well received.

The instructor for the Tai Chi class, Joe Kahn has been the director of the Nordic Ski School at the Olympic Sports Complex at Mt. Van Hoevenberg since 1996 and incorporates Tai Chi principles into his teaching on a daily basis.  He has studied Tai Chi since 1994 and practices daily.  This will be the 6th session he has taught at JEMS (Jay Entertainment and Music Society) and the third aimed mainly at skiers and boarders.

**Please be aware there will not be a Tai Chi class on Tuesday November 6th due to the Presidential election this class will be moved to Monday November 5th at 5:30pm. **
