Tai Chi a Chinese martial art which is over one thousand years old.

Tai Chi was used for self-defence in ancient China and is currently widely practiced for good health,

self-awareness and spiritual development.

Practicing Tai Chi can help people with poor health become stronger, the hyperactive become at ease,

the anxious become confident and the angry feel calmer.

Tai Chi self- heals the body by encouraging Chi (life force) to flow through the acupuncture meridians.

The acupuncture meridians run through the entire body connecting every part.  With age, the flow of Chi can be impaired by poor diet, unhealthy life style, illness, mental and physical stress. Practicing Tai Chi daily can increase the Chi through all the acupuncture meridians to regain good health and vitality. When muscles are relaxed during Tai Chi practice, the flow of blood and Chi is not restricted and the organs through which the meridian passes are energized and strengthen.

People who practise Tai Chi, experience Chi energy flowing through their meridians which feels like a warm electric glow and possible tingling sensation in the fingers.

Where Chi goes, blood follows so by increasing the Chi flow, you increase the circulation of blood and if you suffer from cold hands and feet, they will gradually become warmer as your circulation improves.
