“As a system of self-defence, Tai Chi Chuan is generally accepted as the ultimate and most complete practice — a sophisticated martial art which is completely non-aggressive.”
Practice of the form, with its slow, relaxed movements develops flexibility and strength of the joints and muscles. Balance and concentration are improved, while releasing physical and mental tension.
