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.
