"I've found Tai Chi provides benefits in addition to regular exercise, there's a contentment or confidence I've never noticed before, and this helps me relax, and enjoy life ....it even helps balance and timing, my golf swing has never been better!"

While recovering from a heart operation I was looking for an interesting exercise regime and Tai Chi was recommended.
The range of slow and soft movements, which are based on martial arts applications, help me to relax by reducing stress and tension. The links to the ancient Chinese medicine and meditation adds interest.
I find that a daily 10 -15 minute session plus a weekly 1 - 2 hour workout fulfils my exercise requirements.

T'ai Chi has brought me many benefits. The obvious ones of better balance, increased leg strength, better coordination and suppleness were expected, and carry over into other sports.
I've seen benefits I didn't expect too. For example, applying the principles of muscular relaxation necessary for Tai Chi has helped my guitar playing, as tension in the shoulders and arms inhibits the speed and accuracy with which one can play.
I am also becoming aware much earlier as stress and muscular tension creeps in during my working day, and can relax and "let it go" before it becomes established.
Practicing the forms requires a deep relaxation of the body and a concentration of the mind, not unlike meditation, and leaves behind a calm, contented, yet energised feeling that carries through into my day.
We can all use some of that!
