Tai Chi: The Art of War and balance

What is Tai Chi? The best way to define Tai Chi, a type of Chinese martial art, is as “concentration in motion.”  It’s like a slow-motion dance that enhances both your physical and mental well-being while assisting you in discovering your inner Zen. The focus of Tai Chi is on smooth, fluid motions that are intended to improve relaxation, balance, and  coordination, as opposed to other martial arts that emphasise punching and kicking.  It’s like watching a bunch of people move slowly while listening to calming spa music. You must have heard the famous quote Still water runs deep. Yet, Tai Chi is a rigorous workout that can help you gain more strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular health. Don’t be fooled by the leisurely pace.  It’s similar to engaging in a sequence of gentle workouts while also engaging in mindfulness and meditation. One of the best things about Tai Chi is that anyone, from young children to older adults, of any age or fitness level may practise it.  It’s like a family-friendly fitness class that everyone in the family can participate in, regardless of how flexible or active they are. Those who suffer from ailments like…
