Daily Training

Practicing Tai Chi is not only a kind of exercise for the body, but also a kind of nourishment for the soul. Every movement contains the Yin-Yang philosophy of Tai Chi, which guides us to harmonize Qi and blood, balance Yin-Yang, and achieve the harmonious unity of body and mind. The practice of Tai Chi requires perseverance and patience. We need to persevere and understand the connotation and artistic conception of each movement with our heart, so that we can gradually appreciate the mystery and charm of Tai Chi. In the process of practice, we will find that our body becomes more flexible and powerful, and our mind becomes more peaceful and calm.
We hope that every student who practices Tai Chi can keep moving forward, exploring, and surpassing ourselves on this road full of challenges and gains at Chenjiagou Tai Chi School.
