Tai Chi can be confusing, but it need not be. As a matter of fact, it is not. The reason it is confusing is that you are not given the full information. Tai Chi masters and instructors are sometimes not straightforward people. They may want to keep some secrets, or maybe that is how they are taught. Well, all these are not important anymore. This audiobook has been specially made to explain Tai Chi in a simple and easy way for practitioners to understand. No more head scratching to decipher what the master is saying, and no more guessing work. This audiobook will explain it all.

If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you! A recent CDC study found that less than one in four people get enough exercise. This is a very significant stat as physical exercise is hugely important in maintaining both physical and mental well-being. Without exercise, as we age we experience energy loss, stiffness, aches, and general weakness. These can be worsened if other medical issues come in to play, such as osteoporosis or arthritis. Combined, this can lead to loss of independence and a reduced quality of life.
