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.
