Is Chen Tai Chi Really Exercise?

Chen Tai Chi Is Unique Among Exercises

Why? It’s one of very few systems where relaxation and meditative, internal quietness while practicing is emphasized. So many forms of exercise have a person blasting out reps, pushing everything in his/her body to maximum speed… essentially going full force continuously.

Not For The Loud And Pushy (lol)

Chen Tai Chi training is different. It’s about gaining a sense of body physics and leverage, not force. It requires a mind and body state of quiet and clarity as opposed to being all amped up emotionally with a “push it, push it, push it” mentality.

So Just What Are The Exercise Benefits?

With consistent practice, over time:

• your core and legs become really strong
• flexible positions that you couldn’t sustain, or maybe couldn’t perform at all,
    begin to feel natural
• coordination and balance improve significantly.

AND, after every practice, you feel you’ve been challenged, but you also feel calm and grounded, not completely spent like you’ve just gone out of your way to beat yourself up
