What is Tai Chi?

Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese form of body movements derived from martial arts. It is considered a soft martial art. Today, Tai Chi is practised world wide and most commonly used as an exercise. It harmonises the mind and body, promoting both mental and physical well-being.

In Tai Chi the hands, eyes, body and breath are coordinated as a whole. The movements are gentle and slow and each part of the body is in constant motion. Unlike most forms of exercise and sport, Tai Chi does not rely on strength or force, making it ideal for people of all ages.
