What is Tai Chi?

Generally people think that Tai Chi Chuan is an exercise to keep fit and healthy. Some see Tai Chi as a slow moving effortless dance which is easy to do. They think it is for old people and not for the young. Well, they are partly right and partly wrong.

Yes, it is a slow exercise to keep fit and healthy, but it’s not only for old people. Starting in your youth ensures the best health for your entire life.

Along with it being one of the best health exercises, it is also one of the most powerful forms of self-defence. It does need proper training and practice to be effective. For both health and martial arts defence one needs to have a learned master for guidance  through the forms, clarifying every step. It’s a training of perfection.

And beyond

That is why it is called Taiji, meaning the ‘Grand Ultimate’ represented by the Yin-Yang symbol. This Yin-Yang symbol represents the origins of matter and life, or the protons and neutrons of a nucleus; the substantial and insubstantial. Tai Chi Chuan is a practical application of Tai Chi philosophy.
