Tai-Ji and Qi-Gong are forms of exercise particularly beneficial to the elderly. They are amongst the most effective, natural means of retarding the ageing process, enhancing flexibility of the limbs, assisting general mobility.

These facts, combined with their highly successful [scientifically proven] record in training balance and co-ordination of mind and body, make them one of the most effective means of minimising the risk of accidents and falls. A result further strengthened by the fact that they assist concentration and clarity of mind; absence of which, amounts to one of the chief contributive factors of such dangers.

A particular attraction of Tai-Ji and Qi-Gong as preventative, or remedially medically beneficial lies in the fact that they are safe and gentle forms of exercise. After practice one remains refreshed rather than tired.

These benefits all combine to provide a singularly effective means of combating the sense of physical and social isolation, caused by the ageing process, the elderly are subject to. They help the regular practitioner to take charge of his or her health, directly, by impeding the limitations of poor concentration, poor mobility, inflexibility of limbs, and poor co-ordination.

In turn, these benefits sponsor a sense of well-being in the elderly practitioner by broadening the options of activities the young take for granted. Additionally, Tai-Ji and Qi-Gong classes provide elderly practitioners with a very welcome uncompetitive, sociable, relaxed training environment; a positive and uplifting experience in its own right.
