How to Start Learning Tai Chi

Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) is an ancient Chinese "internal" or "soft" martial art often practiced for its health benefits and spiritual well-being; it is non-competitive, mild, and generally slow.

Contrary to the Western concept of "no pain, no gain," an hour of tai chi burns more calories than surfing and almost as much as downhill skiing, so it's really a workout. But this is just one of the many benefits! By increasing strength, flexibility, body awareness and mental focus, tai chi can also improve your health.

To fully realize your life force, you must develop your breath and physical activity, and then approach the development of your Chi in terms of energy and spirituality.
