Welcome to our first blog!

Our aim for this blog is to bring together a range of topics about Tai Chi and Qigong.  The subject of Tai Chi and Qigong is rich and multifaceted and will no doubt provide many insightful and thought provoking topics.

Tai Chi originated in China and was tradionally considered a martial art used for self defence. Tai Chi has grown in popularity and is practised extensively all over the world as a form of sport and as a means of keeping fit and preventing and curing many diseases such as high blood pressure, arthritis, kidney problems and many more!

Qigong (pronouned chee-gong) proven to be more than 5000 years old is a soft, slow and meditative Chinese form of exercise for fitness, health and spiritual balance. It is said that Qiging was developed from the accumulated experiences of daily life and work.  As with Tai Chi, Qigong has a sound philosophical basis. Qigong intersects with the philosophy of Taoism, Zen Buddhism and Confucian practices of self-cultivation.

We look forward to bringing you more articles about these wonderful practices - so stay tuned!
