We offer a variety of T'ai Chi Programs at Villari's Martial Arts.


T'ai Chi and Qi-Gong practice is said to
"put more years in your life and
more life in your years."


The practice of the internal martial art of T'ai Chi is often called  moving meditation using
slow movements to balance thoughts, feelings, and actions.
  
                                               
The benefits can be felt immediately and are long-lasting with regular practice. 


Many new students in a short
period of time are told by friends and family of noticeable changes for the better.

T'ai Chi and Qi-Gong (Chi Kung) Research Results:

1992...A study by Putai Jin of LaTrobe University in Australia indicated that T'ai Chi improved heart rate and blood pressure as much as brisk walking.

1996...A study by Dr. Steven Wolf found that elderly people in a T'ai Chi training course reduced their risk of falling by 47.5% compared to those who took a training course in balance.

1996...A study by Dr. Leslie Wolfson of the University of Connecticut: T'ai Chi was compared to balance training, strength training, and combined balance and strength training in people with an average age of eighty. Those who learned T'ai Chi gained significantly more balance and strength than the other groups.

1993...A twenty year study by Wang reported benefits of lowered blood pressure. Patients using Chi Kung experienced a 50% decrease in death and illness from strokes.

1997...Dr. Wen-hsien Wu of New Jersey Medical School found Chi Kung was helpful for patients with reflex sympathetic dystrophy, a disease of the autonomic nervous system. It significantly reduced pain and anxiety.

1998...In a hospital in Beijing 93 patients with advanced cancer were treated with a combination of drugs and Chi Kung exercises, while a control group was treated with drugs alone. 89% of the Chi Kung group showed improvement in strength, 63% in appetite, 33% were free of diarrhea compared to improvement of 10%, 10% and 5% in the control group.

There are many more studies like these clearly demonstrating the health benefits of T'ai Chi and Qi-Gong (Chi Kung). It's no wonder T'ai Chi has stood the test of time and its practice has spread around the world. It's fun, relaxing and a great investment in your sense of health and well-being for mind, body and spirit.
