Beginners and Enthusiasts,
Understand, we are not here to compete with your teacher, but to honor their work, by augmenting it.In a class the focus is on teaching forms. There is often little time to delve into some of the deeper aspects of Tai Chi and Qigong philosophy or Traditional Chinese Medicine, let alone the volumes of modern medical research on these ancient arts. Even long time teachers and masters come to our content for insights of innovative ways to explain these ancient mind/body sciences, we are all still learning ...

A martial arts magazine interviewing an old Tai Chi master, who'd been studying Tai Chi for 60 years, asked, "When did you feel you mastered Tai Chi?" The master looked at the interviewer with a mischevious smile and replied, "I'll let you know as soon as I do."

So, we all are learning, no matter how long we've done it. World Tai Chi & Qigong Day, provides videos, graphics, and text to help you "get it" on a deeper and more meaningful level, that will enhance, not compete with, what you are learning in class. In fact we have readers who are top champions in Tai Chi and master coaches, who've said they get something new from our content every time they read it. If you want to learn more about Tai Chi or learn more about Qigong (Chi Kung), you've come to the right place.
Find Tips on Classes that will help you deal with issues and challenges of learning, that can also benefit the way you approach everything in your life. You'll see explanations of Tai Chi and Qigong Terms and Concepts, that will deepen your understanding of things you are already doing in class.

The TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Acupuncture section, helps you know on a deeper level how your Tai Chi and Qigong practice are actually TCM therapies, benefiting you in many deep and abiding ways. Our Medical Research section exposes you to the vast modern medical research revealing what powerful health & healing tools Tai Chi and Qigong are.
You might ask, "Why should you read this, if you already have begun learning?" In TCM centuries ago, Traditional Chinese Medical pioneers realized that the more a client understands the therapy ... the more benefits they get from it. This is now being validated by the modern science of pscyhoneuroimmunology, which studies the relationship of the mind and body. The new science of neuroplasticity or understanding how our thought processes actually physically alter our physical structure, are also discussed in this website. By understanding on a left brain analytical level the power of Tai Chi and Qigong, then when practicing, your mind will allow you to relax deeper into the benefits. Learn how Tai Chi and Qigong can maximize your Sports and Life performance.
Again, if you are already a practitioner, you may have already felt those changes, but to understand them intellectually as well can help deepen your benefits.
