Hello and Welcome to Maidstone Tai Chi

What is Tai Chi?

Tai Chi (Tai Chi Chuan) is an ancient Chinese martial art that is practiced today for its health benefits, relaxation, and mindfulness. It is a form of gentle exercise that combines slow, flowing movements with deep breathing and mental focus. Often described as “meditation in motion,” Tai Chi helps to improve balance, flexibility, and overall well-being.

Rooted in traditional Chinese philosophy, Tai Chi is based on principles of harmony, energy flow (Qi), and natural movement. Originally developed as a martial art, it has evolved into a widely practiced discipline that is accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels.

Benefits of Tai Chi:

  • Enhances balance and coordination
