Learn the real Tai Chi Chuan: it is both a martial art and a pathway to being grounded, healthy, and full of good energy.
Those active in sports, dancing, and music performance have reported faster response times along with a greater sense of peace, even while under pressure.
For everyday life, if you are not an athlete, this practice improves coordination, balance, well-being, and health. Using myself as an example, my heart rate is 50, and blood pressure and all other indicators are excellent, even over 70 years old. I feel warm and comfortable in the winter, and conduct six hours of Tai Chi Chuan in a day during workshops, with no difficulty.
This is primarily due to Tai Chi Chuan practice. Perhaps you would like to understand and experience this mind / body martial art.
