So proud of these guys. Self improving to get stronger everyday. TAI CHI (taiji), short for T'ai chi ch'üan, or Taijiquan is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits. The term taiji refers to a philosophy of the forces of yin and yang, related to the moves. Though originally conceived as a martial art, it is also typically practiced for a variety of other personal reasons: competitive wrestling in the format of pushing hands. . . . Practicing tai chi may help to improve balance and stability in older people and in those with Parkinson’s disease, reduce back pain and pain from knee osteoarthritis, and improve quality of life in people with heart disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses. Tai chi and qi gong may ease fibromyalgia pain and promote general quality of life. Qi gong may reduce chronic neck pain, but study results are mixed. Tai chi also may improve reasoning ability in older people. □ □ □ #martialarts #martialway #taoga #taoistwarrior #alwaysastudent #taoist #kungfu #taichi #chinesekungfu #keepmotivated #keepfit #meditate #exercise #wayoflife #Tao #health #wellness
