PREFACE
Most people see Tai Chi today as a pretty-looking dance for exercise, and it has lost its martial arts essence. Practitioners and even teachers today do not realize that Tai Chi was created as a martial art for self-defense. The numerous amazing health benefits are secondary.
In my 40 years of experience, I certainly cannot profess to know everything. However, I have gleaned some wisdom over the years that I humbly present to the reader that will prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Yang Tai Chi is a highly effective, valid, and complete system of Chinese Kung Fu.
The health benefits of practicing the Tai Chi form daily include great improvement in balance (falling is the number one cause of death in the elderly according to the CDC), coordination, muscular strength toning, and flexibility. Its practice increases breathing capacity, improves blood circulation, and promotes relaxation, calm, and peace of mind.
Recent studies say that Tai Chi practice can stave off dementia. Remembering the form sequence, its details, proper breathing, etc., is a great exercise in memory. The brain is, in fact, a muscle, too, and it must be exercised. Use it or lose it.
Depression is another malady that Tai Chi practice can treat. By combining deep, slow, and rhythmic breathing through the form sequence while moving slowly, the pulse rate gently speeds up, increasing the circulation of blood throughout the body. Body, mind, and breath entrainment over a 30-minute period causes the brain to become flooded with serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine (the feel-good hormones). This is akin to getting a runner's high.
One of my students has shown marked improvement in symptoms related to Parkinson's Disease.
