What
is Tai Chi?
|
|
Tai
Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese set of exercises. It is based on the
Taoist understanding that all things comprise of the harmony of two
complementary forces, Yin and Yang. |
|
|
|
Why
Practice Tai Chi? |
|
With
its distinctive grace and flowing movements, Tai Chi Chuan is a popular
form of anger management and relaxation as it provides an effective
antidote to the stresses of our competitive society. Many people practice
Tai Chi solely for its benefits to health and as a means to relieve
aggression. |
|

|
Tai
Chi Explained |
|
Through
the study of Tai Chi, we learn not to rely on external strength and
aggression in order to overcome opponents and obstacles but rather we
learn to apply the principles such as yielding to overcome the unyielding,
softness to overcome the hard. As the body gradually learns to soften and
yield the mind becomes open and flexible. |
|
The
increased openness and sensitivity, combined with the understanding of
yielding and the ability to calmly focus one's intention in a spontaneous
manner, lead to greater connection with the environment and others. A
clear perception of the 'heart of the matter' develops - this in turn
increases our ability to defuse situations that might normally lead to
open conflict. |
|
Consistent
and diligent practice will restore one's mind and character to its
original state of integrity. Tai Chi reconnects the mind to the body, the
conscious to the unconscious and the individual to his or her environment.
It reveals the battle within us and teaches, over time, a more appropriate
and natural way of being. |

What
is Chi Kung? |
|
The
literal meaning of Chi Kung is "air work" or "working with
energy". |
|
|
|
The
Goal of Chi Gong |
|
The
goal of Chi Gong exercise is to stimulate the flow of energy internally in
the body so that it effectively rushes through and clears any blockages or
toxins within the body. |
|
|
|
Extensive
research has been developed over the years to create a system of exercise
that would speed up the blood circulation, hence stimulate the flow of
energy without placing an intolerable strain on the body. The result was
Chi Gong. |
|
|
|
What Chi
Gong offers is a method of training the nervous system, the
mind, and the internal organs simultaneously, so that the inner strength
of the whole person is raised to a new level of fitness. Chi Gong is also
helpful when developing inner strength for many sports including, Golf,
Football, Bowling and Cricket |
