Introduction to Tai Chi
Sun Style (pronounced “Soon”)
Background of Tai Chi
Tai Chi is a soft, internal, ancient Chinese
martial art consisting of slow, flowing, meditative
movements. The concept of Tai Chi
originates in the philosophy of Yin and
Yang. These two forces are opposites, yet
must exist together and interact with one
another. The Tai Chi symbol represents the
idea that every object has positive and negative
elements in itself which contradict and
complement each other.
History of Tai Chi
Tai Chi has been practiced for more than
1,000 years. It was kept secret and known
only to members of families for the purpose
of combat. During the Song Dynasty (960-
1279 A.D.) a Taoist priest named Chang
San-feng is credited with founding Tai Chi.
He emphasized that Tai Chi was not created
for fighting, but for preserving health and
prolonging life. Although Tai Chi is an
excellent form for self defense, today it is
primarily practiced for its health benefits.
Benefits of Tai Chi
A. Why should I practice Tai Chi now?
1. Builds strength and endurance: lubricates
joints, strengthens and relaxes muscles.
2. Increases concentration and the ability to
focus the mind.
3. Prevents and heals illness: restores
yin/yang balance, maintains chi circulation.
4. Teaches deep breathing and relaxation
techniques.
5. Calms down the mind and releases stress.
Benefits as you age
1. Increased coordination, flexibility and balance:
helps prevent falls, accidents, arthritis.
2. Lowers blood pressure: prevention against
heart disease, stroke.
3. Boosts the immune system; prevention for
colds, flu, cancers, etc.
4. Prolongs healthy and happy quality of life.
Tai Chi, truly a treasure from China, can be
practiced anytime, anywhere. An excellent
choice for your lifetime exercise. |
