TAI CHI is not intended for offense or defense. TAI CHI is a form
of Chinese exercise intended to maintain the natural balance of
the body, develop circulation and maintain muscle tone. Movements
are practiced slowly without force or power. Breathing is very important
in gaining the benefits of TAI CHI training. Most movements are
divided into two parts. The first part of the movement is coordinated
with the intake of air into the lungs. The second part of the movement
is executed when exhaling. The breath matches the timing of the
movement.
Benefits:
People of all ages can benefit from TAI CHI training. TAI CHI CHUNG
can increase the oxygen intake into the bloodstream improving circulation,
stamina, and endurance.
