“The physical movements of Tai-Chi activate the chi flow... strengthing the body from the inside out on a cellular level improving overall health and developing internal strength”

Tai-Chi is a very old form of soft and slow body movements. When these movements are actualized with correct posture and breathing they induce a very relaxed and harmonious state of being. This state allows the life energy known to many as Chi to flow throughout the body.

The flow of chi is governed and explained by the two polar opposites seen in the Yin and Yang symbol. This symbol is created with equal black and white segments that merge into each other as day merges into night in the natural world. The balanced polarity represented by the Yin and Yang is the basis of Tai-Chi philosophy.

The physical movements of Tai-Chi activate the chi flow. It is the activation of chi which strengthens the body from the inside out on a cellular level to improve overall health and develop internal strength. Some of the benefits of correct Tai-Chi training are restful sleep, dispersion of anxiety, inner confidence, and smooth, supple movements with increased poise and balance. Another important, yet not commonly known or explained, benefit of Tai-Chi is its' effectiveness in self defense situations.

Tai-Chi has its roots in the art of Kung-Fu which deals with realistic combative self defense. The study of Kung-Fu yields immediate self defense skills that increase with time were as Tai-Chi requires a good deal of time to understand its self protection benefits.

Tai-Chi is ideally suited, but not limited to, men and women over thirty years of age. Women usually relate more directly to Tai-Chi because of their naturally graceful movements.
