Description:
Tai Chi is the most practiced martial art form in the world and it is well known for its many great health benefits. The Chinese kept it a secret for many centuries and it was passed down only to selected students.
Relaxation is the basis of Tai Chi, leading to naturalness and harmony in life.
The initial exercises of Tai Chi were carefully designed and refined over hundreds of years to counter the effects of aging and create a surplus of energy in the body ensuring physical and psychological health. This creates a harmonious balance of yin and yang in the organs.
People of all ages and degrees of health are equally able to practice Tai Chi. It only requires an attitude of genuine enquiry, patience, perseverance and an openness to practice. Tai Chi requires no large space, no special uniform or equipment. It can be done indoors or outdoors and it is suitable for everyone regardless of their age or physical ability. Tai Chi should be thought of as a lifetime practice.
