Why Do Tai Chi Chuan

Why do Tai Chi when there are so many styles of martial arts available? The answer is simple, Tai Chi or more appropriately Tai Chi Chuan is one of the three internal styles of gung-fu that will develop your body, mind and spirit.
Tai Chi should be practiced in conjunction with Qigong (pronounced Chi-Goong) which is the energy or power of Chi.
Chi is the vital energy within each individual. It may be developed to very high standards and used for martial art and healing applications. As one develops Chi one understands the fundamental flow of energy in the universe. Qigong taps into earth energy and cosmic energy.
Chi can be cultivated and then stored in the body for later use.

The slow deep and steady breathing employed during practice stimulates the blood circulation, exercises the lungs and stimulates internal organs such as the Liver.

All movements are done at a slow even pace in line with the breath. Tai Chi Chuan is gentle exercise that uses all the muscles and joints and can be done by people of any age.

The health benefits are as the old Chinese saying "Whoever practices Tai Chi Chuan will gain the pliability of a child, the health of a lumberjack and the peace of mind of a sage".
