WHAT IS THE TAI CHI?
The Tai Chi can perhaps best be thought of as a moving form of yoga and meditation combined. It consists of a sequence of movements. Many of these movements are originally derived from the martial arts (and perhaps even more ancestrally than that, from the natural movements of animals and birds) although the way they are performed in Tai Chi is slowly, softly and gracefully with smooth and even transitions between them.
