How Martial Arts Can Help You

Tai Chi is a martial art very well known for its defense techniques and health benefits.

Health Benefits

A low impact moving meditation exercise, it is excellent for building muscular strength, increasing balance, creating flexibility, improving lung capacity, and reducing stress and blood pressure.

Healthy Aging

Tai Chi is also recommended for specific medical ailments such as arthritis, low bone density, many forms of cancer, heart disease, hypertension, Parkinson’s disease, sleep problems, stroke, and many more.

Self-Defense

While tai chi is typified by some for its slow movements, coach Joe Wood emphasizes hands on exercises to condition the mind & body from the beginning to prepare for self-defense training.
