"T'AI CHI CHUAN"?? T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Taijiquan, or commonly Tai Chi or Taiji(太極拳, or simplified 太极拳 in pinyin: literally supreme ultimate fist), is an internal Chinese martial art which is known for the claims of health (especially stress management) and longevity benefits made by its practitioners and in some recent medical studies. T'ai Chi Ch'uan is also known as a "soft style" martial art. T'ai Chi is best known as the slow motion routines groups of people practice every morning in hundreds of parks across China and, increasingly, other parts of the world. In T'ai Chi classes one is taught awareness of one's own balance and what affects it, awareness of the same in of others, and appreciation of the practical value in one's ability to moderate extremes of behavior and attitude at both mental and physical levels. T'ai Chi Ch'uan as physical training is characterized by its requirement for the use of leverage through the joints based on coordination in relaxation rather than muscular tension. This coordination is seen to improve balance, flexibility, stamina and begins to open the circulation throughout the body, thereby providing ever deeper levels of relaxation. |
