What is Tai Chi?
Tai Chi is a martial art system originating from China that is based on a series of gentle movements. It incorporates softness & looseness into functional exercise and is one of the ‘softer’ Chinese martial arts. There is an emphasis on yielding & neutralising rather than attacking. As such Tai Chi does not rely on ordinary ideas of strength. This makes it accessible to a wider age & fitness range than harder styles
The general benefits of Tai Chi are:
General fitness
Mental & physical relaxation
General strength building
Agility & flexibility
Calmness & mental focus
It is a very adaptable system suitable for young & old alike
