Classes are held every Monday evening from 7:30 - 8:30pm at Seminole Heights Baptist Church, 801 E. Hillsborough Avenue, in Tampa, Florida. Class instruction includes T’ai Chi, Qigong and I Ch’uan exercises and training forms.

T’ai Chi, Qigong and I Ch’uan are relaxing, energizing and strengthening exercises. They are learned and practiced slowly at the beginning to carefully stretch the muscles of the body while increasing the oxygen volume of the lungs and blood stream and building the density of the feet, legs and hips. You can learn more about the health benefits of T’ai, Qigong and I Ch’uan at www.gmaf.org/therapeutic.html.

Mark McGee has taught in Tampa since 2002 and started the Seminole Heights class in January of 2008. He has been teaching a variety of martial arts exercises since 1966. Mr. McGee’s lineage in T’ai Chi Ch'uan, Qigong and I Ch’uan is from Grand Master John Chung Li. He taught in Shanghai and Hong Kong for many years until he moved to the United States in the late 1960s. Mr. Li gave the lineage to Grand Master Robert Xavier in 1980. Mr. McGee is a senior student of Mr. Xavier.

T’ai Chi in Seminole Heights is open to people with and without previous experience in T’ai Chi, Qigong and I Ch’uan. Mr. McGee designs each class to help people at all levels of experience in the arts.

T'ai Chi, Qigong and I Ch'uan were developed to assist through the centuries to people in their goal of better health as well as developing an effective system of self-defense. Mr. McGee teaches hundreds of exercises that have been used by millions of people for thousands of years to improve overall health and well-being.

We invite you to attend your first two classes free of charge to see if T'ai Chi, Qigong and I Ch'uan will be good for you. The cost of each class after that is $5.00. New students are invited!
