The association

Its objective is to accomplish a mission to provide health, self-defense, flexibility and an effective means of alleviating stress and anxiety; contributing toward maintaining and improving residents’ quality of life. Activities offered mainly on the Tai Chi form, Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan. Tai Chi is a type of martial art very well known for its defense techniques and health benefits. It has been considered to be a form of meditation in motion which promotes serenity and inner peace. As a form of exercise, it combines gentle physical exercise and stretching with mindfulness. Tai chi also appears to reduce pain and the symptoms of depression in some cases. It is safe for people of all ages, as it does not put too much stress on the muscles and joints. It's universallly recognized as a practice and it has become a prescription gave by western doctors as a healthy tretament after surgery.
