What is Tai Chi
« Tai Chi |Tai Chi is a system of exercises for health and relaxation that can be practiced at any age. It is an ancient Chinese discipline followed by millions of people all over the world.
Everyone, regardless of their age and physical abilities, can start Tai Chi. Every student learns to practice according to his/her ability and within his/her natural range of movement. Regular practice will increase mobility and relaxation.
Therapeutic effects
After many centuries, Tai Chi Chuan became well known as an ideal exercise to reduce stress, to improve concentration, coordination and balance. Through various movements working on more than 700 parts of the human body, it helps not only to stretch and strenghthen muscles, but also it to maintain elasticity in the ligaments, flexibility in the tendons and mobility in the joints.
Executed in a calm and relaxed manner, the movements improve respiration. The body becomes less tense, which improves blood circulation, reduces high blood pressure and lightens the workload on the heart.
A Talk on Practice, by Yang Cheng Fu
Although there are rather a lot of different styles of Chinese martial arts, they are all alike in that successive generations have striven all their lives and with all there might to explain the principles and theory contained in these techniques, but those efforts have never been totally successful. Nevertheless, if a student will expend the effort of one day of practice, he will receive the achievements of one day of work. Over the days and the months this accumulates until everything falls into place naturally.
