Information

Tai Chi Chuan is ultimately an art that brings changes. Far from only being an isolated exercise, it crosses all boundaries to touch all aspects of our lives. The examples of this section alone have highlighted three large areas in which Tai Chi Chuan can affect us. But the art simply has infinite diversity. It can influence you physically, emotionally, cognitively and spiritually. Practise Tai Chi Chuan correctly and you will see these changes infuse into your everyday. There are millions of people who practice Tai Chi Chuan for its multitude of benefits and effects.

Qi Qong is an ancient art of moving Qi. Often it is practiced with simple exercises. One may be laying down, seated, standing, walking, or making various movements like a form. Today Qi Qong is widely practiced with many different schools of thought. Many martial arts consider their art a Qi Qong art (like tai chi chuan). It is often used to help promote longevity, recover from serious illnesses, and to help when nothing else seems to work. It is a proven therapeutic practice with many clinics in China dedicating their lifework toward Qi Qong healing and recording its effectiveness.

Qi Qong is a lifestyle change which helps one adapt. Learning a few simple Qi Qong movements can make a tremendous difference in the way you feel. It can boost your immune system levels. It releases endorphins that literally make you feel better. It teaches you the value of soft exercise. The flexibility of the body often increases due to the whole body movement and the movement from your core which strengthens your tendons and ligaments.
