A Popular Sport, Tai Chi
Tai Chi's origins date back to 2000 BC. It emerged during yoga practices in India. Like Kung Fu, this sport was developed in the Shaolin Temple. Tai Chi is a combination of over 300 martial arts with yoga and meditation. Tai Chi is based on the principle of soft and internal comfort in its internal system. In its external system, hardness, strength, and robustness are prioritized.
Although Tai Chi initially emerged as a martial art, its importance for health was later recognized, and it began to be used for therapeutic purposes in many hospitals and sanatoriums.
Once its positive effects on health were scientifically expressed, its fame spread rapidly throughout the world, leaping from its homeland, China, to Europe and America. Tai Chi practices are conducted in many parts of the world for delaying aging and improving balance.
Tai Chi, which helps achieve the integration of spirit, mind, and body, activates both lobes of the brain in a coordinated manner. It also strengthens attention, focus, and concentration. It has a positive effect on the central nervous system, stimulates blood circulation, enriches the liver, speeds up digestion, and increases the sensitivity of the sensory organs.
