Tai Chi, or Taiji, is short for Tai Chi Chuan, or Taijiquan, which translates from Chinese to “Grand Ultimate fist”. Tai Chi is an internal-style Chinese martial art that can be traced back to the Chen family, the Daoists at Wudang mountain and ultimately to Shaolin Temple.

"The Harvard Medical School Guide to Tai Chi" says: "regular practice leads to more vigor and flexibility, better balance and mobility and a sense of well-being. Tai Chi also has a beneficial impact on the health of the heart, bones, nerves and muscles, immune system and the mind."

When practiced slowly for health purposes, Tai Chi is a type of Qigong. Qi-Gong means "energy-work". Qigong (chi kung) is the ancient art of building the body's Qi (energy) to a higher level and circulating it throughout the body for rejuvenation and health.

Qigong increases the quantity of energy in the body and improves the quality of your circulation through energy pathways, known as meridians.

The slow, relaxed Tai Chi movements are widely recognized for their health benefits, improving your balance, strengthening the internal organs, muscles, joints, spine and bones and developing abundant energy.

Thank you for downloading our free app! We are striving to make the best possible video apps available.
