Tai Chi is short for Tai Chi Chuan (Taiji Quan 太極拳) and is an ancient Chinese Martial Art, and Daoist (Taoist 道) Health Practice, that today is generally focused on it's health & healing aspects, and is practiced as an enjoyable & interesting health nourishing exercise & philosophy that helps you maintain good health, relaxation & vitality. Qi Gong (气功) are deep breathing, breath control, stretching and mobility, mind, body and spirit, Health Nourishing Exercises.

The graceful movements of this Martial Art reflect a history of centuries of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) & Daoist (Taoist) Philosophy & Health Practices, which western science is also gradually catching up to, confirming & validating many aspects of ancient knowledge & wisdom each year.

The regular & consistent practice of Tai Chi (太極) & Qi Gong (气功) has been shown to have many benefits to the physical & mental health and well being of people of all ages and fitness levels. It is particularly helpful for those wishing to improve mobility & balance, relieve stress or anxiety, strengthen the immune system and increase one's general health & vitality, as well as when recuperating from surgery, illness or injury.

As a Doctor of Traditional Chinese and Oriental Medicine (OMD), I've found Tai Chi to be very beneficial for a wide range of ailments and particularly, as mentioned, for stress, anxiety, hypertension, for example.

As well as healing or managing various forms of illness & disease, it can also assist or support western medical treatment as a form of Complimentary Medicine (CAM), often in the manner of managing the side effects of those treatments, and thus help one to endure the sometimes harsh, yet benefical, pharmaceutical drug, surgical, or other treatment regimes, required, for such illnesses.

Of course, Tai Chi is a Martial Art, and at Summer Hill Tai Chi one can also study the Martial Art side of Tai Chi. Infact studying the whole Art, including the Martial side, holistically will provide superior health and healing benefits than strictly focusing only on the Health side alone.

I fix 'Broken Tai Chi' ... before it breaks you! Incorrect or poorly taught Tai Chi, such as locking out the elbow or knee joints, bad alignment of the hip or knee joints, or other incorrect alignments, structure, methods and so on will not only limit/negate potential health benefits, but can in fact cause injury/damage to the body, particularly over a long period of time. Tai Chi is well known for Strengthening the Knees, for example, and improving one's Health & Vitality, however incorrectly taught it can damage the knees & health!
Further, for Martial Art purposes, incorrect alignment, structure, posture, methods & so on will serve little practical use, and rather benefit your opponent.
