About Tai Chi

As a martial art, Tai Chi aims to achieve the maximum result with the minimum force. It accomplishes this through relaxation, sensitivity, utilising the principles embodied in the Dao. It is a subtle, complex style that takes plenty of time and understanding to utilise. However, its principles can also enhance one's ability in other martial arts because of the deep understanding of mind-body connection upon which it is predicated.

As an exercise, Tai Chi can be and often is used as a way to maintain and improve health and mental focus. It is also said to have a therapeutic effect for those dealing with such issues as arthritis, high blood pressure, stress, asthma and other ailments.
