Nowadays people start with T’ai Chi Ch’uan mostly out of a general health interest or to reduce their stress levels.
T’ai Chi can be enjoyed by most people who can stand up and walk normally. There are no special requirements with regards to level of physical fitness or age. If you do not fit the normal health mould, you should discuss your medical situation with the teacher before the start of the lesson(s)! This will allow him or her to take this into account with the exercises that you might not be able to do or that you should not be doing. With regards to footwear, it is important to have soles with only a moderate or light grip. |
