Benefits of Tai Chi Chuan
1. The Art of Advanced Self-Cultivation
For those who want to improve their quality of life by achieving balance in body and mind, Tai Chi is the best discipline for those who want to cultivate their mind, as it is comparable to meditation that trains awareness and enhances physical wisdom. For some, Tai Chi is not just exercise but a way of life that exists in harmony with nature. It is a spiritual advancement that practitioners can experience through continuous and regular practice.
2. Exercise for a Lifetime
Some exercises such as running, tennis, basketball, etc., cannot be practiced throughout life because they are sports that impact joints. Some martial arts are the same and cannot be practiced throughout life, such as judo, taekwondo, and karate, which require high levels of body agility and muscle strength. When people reach middle age and old age, their physical health may not allow them to practice such martial arts. Tai Chi is an internal martial art that emphasizes body flexibility without intensity. Therefore, it can be practiced throughout life, regardless of age, without causing damage to health or compromising physical well-being. The more you practice, the better your health becomes, as it nourishes the internal qi system of the body more completely.
