Golden Lion Tai Chi Chuan stimulates your mind, reduces stress, keeps you fit and prevents illness
At the Golden Lion Tai Chi Chuan Academy, we believe that integrated mind and body fitness is a way to good health, and that Tai Chi Chuan is a system of exercise and philosophy ideally designed to achieve this integration and fitness.
In the history of this Chinese martial art, early practitioners appear to have designed it to achieve longevity and specific benefits to the mind and body in a number of ways...
- First, it is a powerful system of self defence - a very straightforward method of preserving oneself physically
- Second, it operates within the principles of Chinese Traditional Medicine to enhance health and healing through the coordination of movement and breathing
- Thirdly, the practice of this art is, in itself, a form of meditation, restoring your inner balance and harmony, and soothing your nervous system.
Tai Chi Chuan is a natural way to fitness and health. It is essentially gentle mind-body exercise performed in a tranquil, graceful way to keep both your mind and body fit. The tai chi movements are purposefully performed with slow, continuous and controlled techniques so as to protect your joints while at the same time promoting relaxation, concentration, balance and coordination.
In the area of fitness, you'll improve in flexibility, strength, bone density, and in the condition of your heart and circulatory system.
You can increase your resistance to illness and generate a greater feeling of well-being through regular practice. You'll promote normal circulation of blood, fluids and Chi life force energy throughout your body. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine's pressure points for healing, when circulation of these vital substances becomes blocked or impaired, disease can result.
The Golden Lion system of teaching is suitable for students of all ages and physical condition - from teens to people in their 80s or even into their 90s. All students are enabled to fine-tune all the elements of their body - physical, emotional, intellectual, energetic, and spiritual - into a balanced, healthy unit.
