Tai Chi is a type of internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits. The "chi" means life energy and "tai" means ultimate fist. Researchers have found that intensive Tai Chipractice shows some favorable effects on the promotion of balance, control, flexibility, and cardiovascular fitnesss. In a randomized trial, the Tai Chi intervention group did significantly better in terms of pain, fatigue, sleeplessness and depression than a comparable group given stretching exercises and wellness education. The Tai Chi Club meets every week on Thursdays at 5pm in St. Mary's Lounge.
The Tai Chi Club is planning to wake up in the mornings around 7am and practice Tai Chi, Yoga, and Qi Gong before our classes on a regular basis. If you are interested, please email us at taichiumd@gmail.com
