What is Tai Chi?
Tai Chi is a Chinese traditional martial art originally practiced purely for self defence. The principle of the art focused on the mind leading the Chi (Qi) and thus sending the energy (power) through the body’s meridian pathways to the attacker. Nowadays Tai Chi is mostly practised for health purpose as it is considered as a nature and body science. Tai Chi originates from the Chinese words Tai Chi Quan. In the old language, Tai means Supreme, Chi (ji) means Ultimate and Quan (Chuan) means Boxing. The circular movements of Tai Chi comply with the philosophy of Yin and Yang, the balance in harmony, an endless positive circle.
