Tai Chi can seem a bit strange to begin with. Students often wonder how the soft and slow movements can develop health and fitness let alone be any good for self-defense. If you think about it carefully though, training the body and mind through slow movement makes perfect sense! Firstly, the slowness gives you time to become aware of how you use and experience your body and thus a chance to improve, learn how to relax and move with ease. Secondly, slowness requires that the whole structure of the body works together to support itself in gravity in a balanced and integrated way. This develops excellent and intelligent whole-body strength and flexibility.
Just like when learning a musical instrument you can slow down your playing to improve your technique and sound, Tai Chi teaches you how to improve the way you use your whole body and mind.
