Tai Chi on the Beach

Master Gary Grooms, a highly experienced, internationally recognized Master of Tai Chi Chuan and various Chinese martial arts, is teaching Tai Chi on the Northshore Beach in downtown St Petersburg. Classes are held from 7:30 am to 8:30 am on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Fee is $65 per month or $10 per class. Sign-up is at the North Shore pool office 727-895-7727.

The sensation of being on the beach, looking at the water or the park, with a breeze blowing gently (on good days), is so much better than being closed in a room. Master Gary not only shows you what to do, he tells you why you're doing it. Tai Chi improves your balance, strength and flexibility and reduces stress as well. What a great way to start the day!

Master Gary holds the rank of 7th Degree Black Belt/Sash (Senior Master Level) and moved to St Petersburg in 2005 from Atlanta, where he lived for 20 years. You can contact him at gary@mastergary.net
