Tai Qi

In China Tai Qi is practiced to keep fit and healthy and enhance Kung Fu fighting skills. You will see Tai Qi being practiced mostly as an early morning form of exercise. The most common form of Tai Qi is with movements of the body but it can also be done with weapons including fans and swords.

The movements of Tai Qi are slow versions of defensive or aggressive positions and although it may appear not to be very strenuous it can in fact be very tiring using up a lot of energy. It is an excellent exercise for coordinating all of your body muscles by moving them at the same time. With Tai Qi, you learn to control your breathing, pulse and muscles coordination.
