Tai Chi
Tai Chi practice is often suggested for older adults—it has a well-deserved reputation for improving balance and preventing falls. But experts agree that the benefits go far beyond balance, and anyone and everyone should give it a try.
Around the world, tai chi is used as a slow-motion exercise for health and meditation. Many martial artists call tai chi a “soft” art, but every movement in tai chi is a self-defense technique.
Tai Chi is practiced in slow motion so students can develop the body mechanics and structure to deliver the self-defense techniques powerfully. To the average observer, tai chi appears relaxed and fluid. Underneath, the body structure gives it an iron-like strength.
