Knowlege Base:
| Tai Chi is a very popular sport between Martial Arts and Qigong or Yoga. The beauty of Tai Chi offers a middle course between these extremes and it includes the benefits of both. Tai Chi uses slow movements to build endurance and balance. It relieves stiffness of the joints to improve posture and decrease the degeneration of joints. Recently, studies have shown improvements in cardiovascular health as it relates to oxygen intake and usage. This form of exercise also helps to disperse tension and strengthen the respiratory, muscular, and cardiovascular systems. Our regular Tai Chi participants have experienced improvements in circulation, balance, endurance, blood pressure, and concentration. |
Qi Gong is an important component of Chinese traditional medicine characterized by deep, regulated breathing exercises. It enjoys the distinctive features such as low cost, no equipment, without any side effects if under appropriate guidance. Through thousands of years practicing by trillions of people in China and other Asian countries, Qi Gong has proven either superior to traditional Western medicine in treatment of various diseases (especially chronicle and aging related ones, obesity and man's reproductive function problems) or enhancing the effect of Western medical treatments (e.g. chemo radioactive treatment). We offer Qi Gong classes for general purposes of improving health and also for special purposes of curing particular health problems such as heart diseases, diabetes, obesity, and it greatly slows the aging process. Mulan Quan is a school of Martial Arts especially popular among Chinese women. It is a combination of Chinese traditional martial arts, tai chi, aerobics and dancing postures. Practicing Mulan Quan will strengthen your heart, tighten your muscles, enhance your oxygen intake and blood circulation, promote your body and joints flexibility, burn your extra calories, improve your posture, and make you more healthy, graceful and sexy. |
