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'.
