Tai Chi and its benefits

Tai Chi is a Chinese tradition that fits into the group of internal martial arts. These kinds of disciplines occupy themselves with spiritual and mental aspects, focusing less on the body when compared to the most common martial arts.

The base philosophy of Tai Chi is to use softness to counter hardness, instead of the usual clash of force versus force. This idea is applied in the art both physically and mentally.

In sum, Tai Chi is both a personal defense combat art with a non-aggressive philosophy and a form of meditation and mind cleansing. Physically, it will improve your balance, flexibility, strength and endurance. Mentally, it will reduce your stress, boost your self-confidence and enhance your general wellbeing.
