The perfect exercise In modern life, time is in short supply and a person wants to get the best possible benefits from any new endeavour they undertake. Harvard Medical School suggests that taijiquan may indeed be the perfect exercise. It combines 8 crucial ingredients: 1. Awareness (including mindfulness & focussed attention) 2. Intention 3. Structural integration 4. Active relaxation 5. Strengthening & flexibility 6. Natural, freer breathing 7. Social support 8. Embodied spirituality (including philosophy) These 8 taijiquan components offer a multi-layered approach to the cultivation of health, vitality and wellbeing. The depth of study available within a bona fide system of taijiquan is incredible; a student can quite literally explore the art for their entire lifetime and still discover new mysteries, secrets and skills. As a martial art, taijiquan is unparalleled in its sophisticated biomechanics, diversity of combat skills and variety of application.
