Wu Jian Chuan

Cheng Man-ching

• It is suitable for the young and old; robust or sickly
• For maintaining and improving physical, mental, neurological health
• For developing grace, poise and Balance
• Cultivation of the internal energy “chi”
• Prolong life, sustain good health

Tai Chi for health is based on the concept that “Prevention is better than cure”, and that daily, regular Tai Chi exercises tones muscles, clears metabolic toxins, and rejuvenates the body from the stress of modern life. 

The central nervous system, and internal organs which are vital to good health are tonified by the exercises.  This is because in Tai Chi the movements are led by the waist, and are not just flowery movements of the hands alone.

The low stable postures require us to be always balanced on one leg at a time.  These requirements plus the rhythmic breathing enhances blood circulation while strengthening the legs.

Tai Chi exercises uses smooth movement, strict postural requirements and utilizes an energy likened to “pulling silk from a cocoon”.

The combination of slow rhythmic movements, calm concentrated disposition and centeredness enhance relaxation and serenity.  This serenity is likened to meditation in motion.
