Tai Chi Chuan (tai chi) is like the animated ogre
movie star 'Shrek', that is, like Shrek and (onions) it has many layers.
It is a dynamic and very clever Martial Art; well
thought out by many generations of Chinese masters. It is also a very effective 'moving medition' designed to create a relaxed
state of mind and a compassionate attitude. It is also an exercise routine in which one aims to develop strong chi (energy,
vitality, spirit). It improves blood circulation and balance and it has been proven to reduce stress levels; creating a sense
of well being and inner peace.
It is suitable for people of all ages and all
body types and can be practiced as gently or as physically as you like...
... it's your tai chi for your body.
It can be a physically exhausting, very tiring,
sweaty aerobic workout or it can be a peaceful and gentle, quiet exercise; or anywhere between these two extremes (it's up
to you how you use it; you may be an experienced martial warrior who wants to improve your internal power or you maybe a frail
person who simply wants to improve their posture and balance.) Tai Chi is multifunctional.
