Qigong is mainly committed to the cultivation and adjustment of internal energy, and uses specific breathing and thought skills to explore the potential of the body. Tai Chi is a martial art with body movement as the core, with a variety of routines, and pursues the balance of yin and yang in the movements of alternating movement and stillness and opening and closing freely.

Practicing Qigong has many benefits. It helps to adjust the breathing style, enhance lung capacity, and make breathing deep and smooth. At the same time, it can promote the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body, enhance the body's ability to resist diseases , and improve night rest. Continuous practice can make people's mood more peaceful and focused, and reduce tension and worries in daily life.
Who is suitable for Tai Chi
Tai Chi is suitable for people of all ages to participate. Older people practice to relax and gentle posture, help move joints, improve muscle abilities, and reduce the possibility of falling.

What should I pay attention to when practicing Qigong
When practicing qigong, the choice of places is very particular. You have to find a quiet place where air is circulating, and there is no disturbance. When you are focused, you should grasp the right measure. Don’t be too stubborn, otherwise it will easily make people restless. In addition, you should take your time and strength to practice.

Can Tai Chi defend itself?
Tai Chi was originally a fighting technique and did have a self-defense effect. Its moves contain many offensive and defensive methods. Regular practice can make us more sensitive and more flexible in response. But now, Tai Chi is more often regarded as a fitness activity. To use it as a defense, special confrontational exercises and ability enhancement must be carried out.
