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.
