Tai Chi is part of the Chinese Kung Fu system, a martial art that dates back to the 1660's. It has been well documented that practitioners of this system develop:
· Stronger legs
· Improved balance
· Better circulation
· Improved posture and breathing
· Stronger immune system
· Relaxation
· Less knee pain
· Flexibility and suppleness
The exercises we practise from this system are slow, controlled, relaxed movements. They are all performed in a standing position. Some movements are co-ordinated with the breath to give a calming sense of relaxation. It is a slow-motion dance like routine which we try to master with a sense of humour!
Warning: It is not as easy as it looks but it is fun trying to do it!
