Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient system of martial art and exercise that helps prevent and cure disease by loosening the joints and spine and relax points of tension in the body. Internal martial arts strengthen the digestive, circulatory, muscular, and skeletal systems. Tai Chi Chuan is often described as a moving meditation because the slow, turning motions relieve stress, improve concentration, and create a sense of calm. The complexity and challenge of physical training help keep the mind and body sharp.
