Tai
Chi is a traditional Chinese martial art. Its benefits are wide and many.
Tai Chi was originally created to teach self defense techniques whilst
improving the physical, mental and spiritual well being of the
practitioner. Good martial arts technique is useless if the practitioner
is in poor physical, mental and spiritual health! Today we may not be
concerned with the combative aspect of Tai Chi; now the emphasis is on
self-defense from the stress and strains of modern living.
Tai Chi is a form of
programming. By performing many repetitions of Tai Chi sequence, moving
in a relaxed and rhythmic manner and promoting deep breathing we
encourage correct and efficient use of the body. This in turn improves
skeletal structure and alignment plus the health and range of movement in
the joints, increases muscle balance and strength, endurance and
flexibility, and improves the function of the nervous system, organs and
circulation. In short Tai Chi results in a body that is better balanced
and functions at its best.
It's widely recognised
that regular exercise improves mood and psychological stability.
Practicing Tai Chi, unlike more vigorous form of exercise, has the added
benefit of not wearing you down and any form of repetitive movement is
meditative. Whilst practicing Tai Chi you clear your mind of any unwanted
or unnecessary thoughts; helping you to become calm, clear thinking and
energetic.
Wutan students have reported
that Tai Chi has helped them in a number of areas, these include:
- High blood pressure
- Low Blood pressure
- Knee, Hip, Back and general joint health
including relief from arthritis
- RSI
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Migraine
- Relief of Depression and Anxiety
- Digestive health
- Clearer Skin
ME sufferers report having more
energy and stamina. Students who play other sports report they perform
better by augmenting their training with Tai Chi.
Tai Chi is commonly promoted as
a spiritual practice. Spirituality is something Wutan believes is unique
to each and every one of us. Any activity that is purposeful and
meaningful to the individual improves self-image and esteem. Tai Chi does
this by first training the body, as you progress you will experience the
benefit of achieving, learning and understanding your body and your mind,
by working together as a team we promote a harmonious team spirit.
Traditionally in the east, your school becomes like a family. We work
together as a community. By working together we begin to understand and
relate to each other more effectively. We perform the Tai Chi sequence as
a group and work with each other in paired routines encouraging harmony
in ourselves and between each other.
Wutan also teach the internal
arts of pa kua
(bagua) and hsing-i (xingyi),
which complement the t'ai chi training.
