What is Tai Chi
What is Tai Chi?
Tai Chi practice is not mere drilling, rather Tai Chi practice is a continuous, attentive process of learning, feeling, and being. There is no idea or image to be matched. One lets go of all thoughts in the mind, moving and feeling without any preconceived images or ideas. The graceful Tai Chi movements, gentle and smooth, help tune the organic and physical functions of the body, breaking old habits and enabling one to achieve new physical skills.
