Robyn Silverstein Tai Chi Chuan

Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese way of exercise to achieve health and tranquility. Robyn Silverstein is the instructor for the Tai Chi Chuan program at Utah Karate Institute.

Tai Chi Chuan (Southern Yang Style) is a system of activating the body for the development of physical, emotional, and mental well-being. These exercises produce a feeling of satisfaction and sense of calm that western exercises do not achieve.

Modern scientific studies have determined that the practice of Tai Chi improves balance and strength. The continuous, relaxed, rhythmic movements combined with controlled breathing benefits body systems. The practice helps to quicken blood circulation while proving to significantly lower blood pressure. The meditative qualities benefit mental calm and piece of mind.

Robyn Silverstein studied for many years under the direction of the famous Grand Master Choy Kam Man, in Chinatown, San Francisco. She was the first non-Chinese student to study with Master Choy beginning in 1966 and continued, thereafter as a private student. Robyn has taught the Southern Praying Mantis form in Utah since 1981.

We are glad to have Robyn instructing Tai Chi Chuan at our school and feel that she adds a new level of diversity to Utah Karate.
