Tai Ji Quan

Tai Ji Quan is a movement art, deeply rooted in the ancient Chinese philosophy of Daoism; often characterized by its slow, flowing, purposeful movements. “Tai Ji” translates as the “supreme ultimate” and “Quan” as “fist” or “boxing.” Traditionally, it was practiced as a method of self-defense, with its postures and movements linked together to form a choreographed set, which enabled the practitioner a way to train skills to uproot and defeat his/her opponent.
In the present, besides for it martial aspects, Tai Ji Quan is also acknowledged for its ability to improve health and mental concentration, as well as to provide stress relieve. It has been proven in recent scientific research that it improves balance and coordination, and positively affects the nervous system. It also aids in the circulation of blood and increases bone mass. Mentally, it heightens one’s power of concentration; quieting the mind and focusing in being in the “here and now.” It is a movement art that can be practiced by people of all ages.
An old Chinese saying states that if one is ill, one should use acupuncture, herbs and massage to heal it. But if one wants to stay healthy, one should watch their diet and style of living. If one truly wants to be healthy and vital, one should practice Qi Gong and Tai Ji Quan.
