There are many aspects to consider when deciding to choose tai chi for either exercise or martial arts training. If an individual already has a preexisting medical condition which limits the time and type of activity followed, then tai chi is a good option to choose.
Being a predominantly gentle and slow moving art form, the level of stress on the body, while practicing tai chi, is quite mild when compared to other forms available.
Opting to choose tai chi as a martial art training regiment or as an exercise is also suitable as it does not require any medications or other supplementary additions. Those already on medications that don’t cause an immobile state of body can embark on some tai chi sessions.
Tai chi is also a good choice to make when recovering from bone related injuries. An individual with an osteoporosis condition can greatly benefit from taking up tai chi.
Because of its low impact style movements, people with weak or fractured bone conditions are able to strengthen their bones after practicing tai chi for a period of time.
Tai chi also helps to develop muscle strength and balance in the health of an older age group. As most elderly people increasingly lose their ability to maintain good balance, using tai chi can help to correct this problem.
The social aspect of taking up tai chi is another advantage to consider. Tai chi is commonly practiced as a group exercise. This allows the participants to interact with each other before and after the sessions, thus providing the much needed and important platform for socializing.
