Tai
Chi Chuan (Tai Chi) is a centuries old Chinese self-defense discipline
for health, relaxation, meditation, and self-cultivation. Tai
Chi emphasizes relaxation and inner calm and it can be learned
by anyone, regardless of age, sex, or athletic ability.
Tai Chi is practiced
slowly in circular patterns, designed to improve circulation
and balance, as well relax and strengthen the nervous system.
The gentle stretching movements makes the body limber, tones
up the muscles and relieves tension. People that practice Tai
Chi find that it creates a sense of well-being.
