Much can be said about this ancient art. In the years I have been studying it, My balance has improved, I feel more energetic and it blends nicely with the other arts I study.

Internal martial arts are void of all the external power you see exhibited in other fighting arts. That is because at the art of the Grand Ultimate Fist is peace and harmony.  A Tai Chi Chuan student doesn’t try to win a fight by brute force, nor do they seek violence. They simply strive to become one with the energy that is being presented to them. It is through this balance and harmony that they are able to overcome their attacker.

Daily Training Habits – Tai Chi Training

By Leave a Comment

Tai Chi is not something you can do once in awhile and get benefits from it. It is something that must be done regularly. I recommend practicing your Tai chi no less than 4 times a week.  When I first started Tai Chi I had a hard time making time to train. I remedied the situation by making myself go to sleep an hour earlier and waking up an hour earlier.

It took me about 2 months of doing this before it became natural.  For the past 3 years I have been waking up at 4:30 am it was hard at first, but now its just a habit. No matter what time I go to bed I still wake up around the same time everyday.

I am not saying you need to be that extreme but do set time aside to train and stick with it.
