Tai Chi and Qigong are ancient Chinese methods of exercise. Tai Chi involves meditation, dance, and the martial arts. You can play Tai Chi for the beauty of the form. You can also use Tai Chi for self-defense, but never for attacking. Tai Chi and Qigong improve general health of the body and develop internal strength while coordinating deep breathing with slow movements for cultivating Qi, or life energy. Tai Chi and Qigong also develop physical strength, improve balance, and calm your mind. Practicing Tai Chi and Qigong provides benefits for all age ranges.
The style of Tai Chi practiced in the class is 108-form Traditional Tai Chi (108式伝統太極拳), brought by Grandmaster Chian Ho Yin (尹千合) from China to Milwaukee.
