About Millennium Health and Training
Hi, My name is Terry Windus, I live in Perth, Western Australia. I am the founder of Millennium Health and Training. I come from a Bodybuilding background and have competed in the Western Australian Bodybuilding Championships, in 1988 and 1990.
In 1993 I incorporated Tai Chi into my training regimen. Having trained with different Advanced Instructors, and Masters, I learnt the healing and combative aspects of Tai Chi. I soon came to know that Chi – the internal energy of Tai Chi was, and how rare and unknown its teaching was in the Western World.
Millennium Tai Chi, trading as Millennium Health and Training, has been operating since 2001. From day one we have emphasised the internal power of Tai Chi, which is developed with a moving meditation, for both the facilitation of healing, and self-defence.
We teach the Yang 24 Form ( also known as the Beijing 24 Form ) and the Yang Long Form, push hands ( Tuishou ), Qigong ( energy meditation ) and the self defence applications of Tai Chi.
Tai Chi helps the facilitation of healing with, injuries being prevented by the practicing of movements without pain or discomfort; for example when doing the loosening movements ( warmup ) the knees are bent, unless there is discomfort, then the knees are straightened.
We currently offer online Zoom classes to Local Body Government and Retirement Homes. In the past we have taught general public classes, at child care centers, high schools, rehabilitation and healing centers, community groups, and corporations.

What is Tai Chi
What is Chi?
Tai chi is an internal Chinese martial art and is believed to have been developed by the Taoist monk Zhang Sanfeng during the 12 th century. According to ledgend, he created Tai Chi after observing a fight between a snake and a crane, which inspired him to develop a martial art based on the principle of softness overcoming hardness. Zhang Sanfeng’s teachings emphasized the Taoist principles of balance, harmony and the interplay of yin and yang . These principles are central to Tai Chi, which focuses on fluid, continuous movements and the cultivation of internal energy (qi). The lower Tan Tien is called both “medicine field “ and “elixir field because it can attract and store healing forces such as origin chi; also called pre-natal chi. The Tan Tien is also called the ocean, sea of chi, vermillion field, cauldron or navel centre.
