Tai Chi Chuan or better known simply as Tai Chi is a Chinese exercise system based on a series of slow, gentle movements that promote stretching of the body and channeling of internal energy.
The obvious objective of practicing martial arts is to prepare to face a potentially dangerous situation that may involve physical aggression. In such a situation, we can find three types of reactions, Escape, Submission or Aggression. The development of the skill and capacity of the practitioner will allow him/her to choose the answer right for that situation.
I know that we are always told not to be selfish, but if you don’t look after your needs first you can’t look after anyone else!
Be selfish – take some time away from everyone else when you need to. Read a book, soak in the bath, go for a walk, take yourself out for lunch or coffee. Practise your tai chi daily, to give your mind and break from life and to exercise your body.
