TaiChi takes the dialectical concept of Taiji and Yin-Yang in traditional Confucianism and Taoism as its core idea. It integrates various functions such as maintaining temperament and strengthening the body, combining the changes of Yin-Yang and Five Elements from I Ching (Book of Changes), the meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine, ancient Daoyin (Taoist Qi exercise) and Tuna (Taoist breathing techniques).
It is a kind of traditional martial art that combines internal and external cultivation, gentleness, slowness, lightness, hardness and softness.
With slow and graceful movements, Tai Chi helps you stretch, breathe and find balance. Practicing Tai Chi can help calm you physically and emotionally, reducing stress, anxiety and depression.
Long-term continuous practice of Tai Chi helps us to open up the Qi channels, so as to achieve the effect of strengthening the body, prolonging life, and maintaining temperament.
