Tai Chi is not just an exercise for calmness and relaxation. It gives the practitioner a feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction which goes beyond that offered by other forms of exercise. This is because Tai Chi movement is smooth, refined, elegant and creates balance of energies both internally as well as externally. The practitioner will eventually sense the chi (energy) circulating within their body which will enable them to achieve the understanding of circulation through the body, he can use this Chi in self defense. The principle that Tai Chi uses for fighting is different to external martial arts which rely on muscular force. Tai Chi uses the principle of soft against hard and weakness to defeat strength. The more one person practices, the better one will become and the defense capability will grow with age, instead of weaken. However because martial theory of Taiji Quan is complex it is more difficult to comprehend and will take a longer period of time to reach martial capability. complementing Tai Chi with hard styles will give a better understanding towards martial arts. In beginner level there is more physical movement in order to comprehend the Chi flow in the body. It is also excellent for athletes or physical student who exudes a lot of positive energy when doing strenuous exercise. Other areas of benefit are for people who are masseurs, healers or for those who just wish to balance their body for health reasons. Chi, has since been researched by many different kind of people. It will depend on the progress of the student and up to the discretion of Si Fu Marco whether you are ready to go into the next level.
