Self Defence


 


Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart.
Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.
It is the joy of being yourself.
It is the joy of having your own space.

 (Osho)

Violence towards women

Since tai chi is concerned with using the opponent's strength against the attacker, women usually have an advantage when training with stronger men.

Although the training is approached playfully, its application is effective.

Heightened awareness means that potentially dangerous situations can be seen in advance and avoided.
Conflict is usually caused by fear.
In time, the tai chi student learns how to cope when under pressure and afraid.

Taking control

It is easy to feel overwhelmed and stressed in today's society.
Tai chi and taoism encourage a person to become aware of how they are living and what they are doing with their time.

By slowing down and relaxing, you will be free to consider what you want out of life.
Are you are a happy person?
Is this the life you want?
These questions may seem silly but they are the most important ones of all.
Tai chi requires you to be responsible for the way in which you use your body.
Taoism asks you to be responsible for the way in which you live your life.
You must take control of your life if you really want to live.


Women's health

The known benefits of tai chi for both mind and body are too numerous to list. 
A few of the most important physical benefits include the improvement of posture, balance, and coordination and the regulation of breathing and heart rate.  
Regular practice also provides mental and emotional benefits.  
Students invariably report enhanced concentration and a deepening sense of peace and clarity of mind during their practice.

Many studies have reported that tai chi improves sex drive.

Tai chi works on the complete body, the liver, kidney, heart, respiratory system, spleen, the nervous system, joints, tissues, tendons, muscles and even the skin.
Most importantly, tai chi makes you feel energised, alert and happy.
A happy person lives a better quality of life.
