Who is Tai Chi for?
Many people think Tai Chi Chuan is for old people. This is an unfortunate point of view, as you can miss many of the glorious benefits of Tai Chi by waiting until you are “old” before you begin its practice. Tai Chi Chuan is an exercise for anybody wanting to improve bone density, strength of their legs and joints, flexibility of the waist, to improve concentration and to calm the mind. You will improve your breathing by increasing lung capacity and your heart rate will slow, yet you can still work up a sweat. Tai Chi Chuan improves the fighting ability of martial artists by teaching them how to deal with oncoming force, how to balance their body for maximum energy output, and to achieve an external softness while maintaining an internal hardness.
Once you have passed the initial learning/remembering stage of your first form, you will begin to achieve a meditative state in your practice. This is one of the real joys of Tai Chi Chuan. So whether you are 16 or 86 (one of my teachers is 84, still practising Tai Chi and jumping out of aeroplanes)! there is unlimited potential for benefits for waiting you! Call 55229375 or come and participate in your first class today!
