Wear & tear

Suppose you buy a car in 2020 and use it very rarely. In 2026 you decide to sell the car and take it to a dealership. The mileage is unusually low for a car of its age.

Yet the car is still 6 years old chronologically. In terms of wear and tear the car is 6 months old.

Tai chi is about spending your energy frugally. That way, as you get older, your wear and tear is unusually low for a person of your age.

Mind, body, spirit

Tai chi combines mind, body and spirit in every action. The student feels acutely alive and alert; energy-filled and passionate.

By using the body more efficiently, you can become less tired and feel more lively.

Nervous agitation

Neurotic conduct is not youthful. Look at small children, unhindered by adult interference. They are usually curious about their immediate environment.

Taste, smell, touch, sounds, sights. The child is not fidgeting or restless, bored or emotional. They are filled with awe and wonder.
