Many people associate tai chi (pronounced tie gee) with the typical image of a large group of people in a park moving slowly in unison through a series of "dance like" movements. And it is probably fair to say that more people use tai chi exercises for health and relaxation than tai chi as a Martial Art

The slow and fluid movements of tai chi require concentration, co-ordination and b
alance. This combination of mental and physical activity works to harmonise the mind, body and spirit and promotes feelings of wellbeing.

This makes tai chi an excellent choice for people who are bored by the repetitive nature of many other exercise systems.

tai chi exercises make an ideal complement to other sports such as golf, or other martial arts training as a warm up or warm down technique.
