Why do Tai Chi Chuan?

The initial attraction of Tai Chi practice may lie in the beauty and grace of its movements. It can also be continued into quite an advanced age without danger.

You may have read articles in the press recently stating that it is good at reducing blood pressure. It has also been referred to by local general practitioners as a way of improving your health.

There are many health benefits. One of the most important and first benefits gained is improved posture. Continued practice can lead to improved energy, circulation and increased suppleness. Joints are exercised and kept mobile. Practice can also increase mental concentration, to name but a few.

 Tai Chi Chuan is practised very slowly and has therefore sometimes been referred to as a 'mediation in movement'.
