Learn the real Tai Chi Chuan: it is both a martial art and a pathway to being grounded, healthy, and full of good energy.
Those active in sports, dancing, and music performance have reported faster response times along with a greater sense of peace, even while under pressure.
For everyday life, if you are not an athlete, this practice improves coordination, balance, well-being, and health. Using myself as an example, my heart rate is 50, and blood pressure and all other indicators are excellent, even over 70 years old. I feel warm and comfortable in the winter, and conduct five hours and longer workshops.
This is all due to Tai Chi Chuan practice. Perhaps you would like to understand and experience this mind / body martial art.
