Tai Chi Club:
"TAICHI" (TAI: Supreme CHI: Ultimate)
Tai Chi, an ancient martial art based upon Taoist philosophy, which was probably developed in the sixth century B.C.
As an exercise, Tai Chi is suitable for people of all ages. The very nature of the art stimulates blood circulation, loosens and limbers up joints and at the same time promotes mental relaxation. It is like yoga and has been described as "meditation in motion".
A half-hour Tai Chi workout would be equivalent to the exercise benefit derived from a three-hour game of golf. It is, however, a less intensive exercise than either squash or tennis. One great advantage that Tai Chi has as an exercise is its convenience. Only ten minutes' exercise is all that is required for a practice session and can be practised in a relatively small area. Most important, you will always feel good, relaxed, refreshed and invigorated after a Tai Chi session.
