It is a complex and highly developed art that will leave you with a a feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction far beyond that offered by other forms of exercise. Tai Chi movement is smooth, refined, elegant and creates a balance of energies both internally as well as externally. Over time the one will eventually sense the chi (energy) circulating within their body. This chi understanding and work can then be used in self-defence too. Tai Chi, is not like other workouts. While a long swim or jog might leave us drained, the ancient mind-body practice of Tai Chi has the power to do just the opposite: Tai Chi produces more energy than it consumes. When we practice Tai Chi, we feel calm, invigorated, clear-headed and experience a sense of renewal on all levels.
