What is Tai Chi & Qigong?

Science now recognises everything is energy. When energy is low or blocked within us internally, this leads to disease.

In China, powerful energy cultivation exercises (Qigong) and martial arts (Tai Chi) developed over thousands of years, inspired through the observation of nature. Both have positive benefits for our health and wellbeing. Thankfully, Cheng Man Ch'ing (The Professor) begun sharing these arts with the western world in 1964. An impressive, growing body of scientific research and personal testimonies around the world now help us to understand the importance these ancient arts can have for us all.

NHS Networks state, tai chi and qigong "...are now being revealed as a major part of the solution to some of our most dangerous diseases – heart disease, diabetes and obesity, cancer, stroke, asthma and chronic lung disorders."

"The residents and I found Lee very polite, considerate and patient with everyone he met. The class was delivered to a high standard, with Lee demonstrating his knowledge and skills. The residents found the session very relaxing, stimulating and a nice start to the morning. Everyone is looking forward to Lee to come again."

I love my Tai Chi lessons. They are both energising and relaxing and a great way to start or end the day. I highly recommend Lee's classes.

Even if you also do conventional warm-up exercises and train at a gym, towards the end of a Tai Chi session, you realise the limbs and body have been moving without risk of strain through pathways your normal life does not demand.

Importantly, without you realising immediately, it also teaches you to walk in a more stable way. This is particularly important for older people, for whom a fall could be not just unpleasant, but dangerous. In one way, moving slowly in Tai Chi and with limbs outstretched may be compared to weight training.

You can do a few repetitions with a heavy weight, or do 10 or 12 or 15 reps with a much lighter weight and some claim it can achieve a similar result. Your basic limbs and body weight are obviously even lighter, but the slow movement keeps it in place for longer. You may not end up looking like the Charles Atlas body builder of yesteryear, but it is not to be dismissed. One further advantage, as we start our Tai Chi warm up exercises, all other thoughts go and I'm at my calmest. That in itself is valuable.

So enjoy these sessions and benefit from them greatly both mentally as well as physically. Also very much enjoy meeting different people and enjoying their company. My chiropractor is very pleased with the progress I have made since the hip replacement and is enthusiastic for me to keep up the Tai Chi/Qigong sessions. Many thanks Lee.
