The Benefits of Tai Chi
Originating in China as a martial art in about the 12th century, Tai Chi is known as The Supreme Ultimate Fist. The founder of Yang Tai Chi, Yang Lu Chan, was called “Yang the Unbeatable” and was appointed to teach China’s Imperial Guard this martial art’s superior fighting techniques.
Although Tai Chi wasn’t initially created for health purposes, ordinary villagers and town people in China began to witness that these groups of Tai Chi martial artists were all healthier and living longer than the average person. Today Tai Chi is revered around the world for both its health and martial achievements. These are just a few of the many benefits of Tai Chi
- Better Balance
- Cardiovascular Health
- Reduced Stress
- Chronic Pain Reduction
- Arthritis Relief
- Joint & Cartilage Health
- Strong Dense Bones
- Better Mental Health and Cognitive Function
- Healthy and Elastic Connective Tissue and Fascia
- Stomach, Intestines and Bowel Health
- Improved Lung Function
- Beautiful Elastic Skin
- Healthy Veins and Arteries and so much more…
How Tai Chi Works
A person practicing Tai Chi moves their body with intention, using slow and relaxed movements.
READ SIFU MICHAEL’S JOURNEY BACK TO HEALTH
The ancient martial artists who lived well into their late 90s and 100s enjoyed all of these benefits. Because they actually looked and felt younger and more lucid as they aged, it wasn’t long before Tai Chi became the most sought after exercise to do in China. And yet, people also began to realize that the many health benefits could not be attained without the martial concepts. This is the essence and paradox of Tai Chi — that you cannot attain the health without also cultivating the martial art. Such is the balance and harmony of yin and yang.

Tai Chi is very easy to learn and quickly becomes more than a workout. Because of the depth to this art, it becomes a way of life for many. You eventually realize that Tai Chi has permeated every area of your life.
