Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) is an ancient Chinese "internal" or "soft" martial art often practised for its health-giving and spiritual benefits; it is non-competitive, gentle, and generally slow-paced.[1] Contrary to the Western concept of "no pain, no gain," one hour of tai chi actually burns more calories than surfing and nearly as many as downhill skiing, so it's definitely a veritable workout.[2] But that's just one of the many benefits! By increasing strength, flexibility, body awareness and mental concentration, tai chi can improve your health, too.

What are some good Tai Chi moves for someone who is over 58 years old?
wikiHow Contributor
All moves are good and beneficial for everyone interested in learning Tai Chi. They only have to be adjusted to the students needs and body limitations. You must find an instructor that can help you accomplish this task.
Can anyone tell me why I am not able to feel the chi ball?
wikiHow Contributor
Feeling chi at its core takes practice; for some, it takes years. Start small. Rub your hands together (like you're starting a fire) while deep breathing for 30 seconds or so. Then close your eyes and enjoy the tingling in your hands. Welcome to your chi.

I am over 70 years of age and have had three spine operations, which left me with some screws in my back. Is it safe for me to try tai chi if I cannot bend properly anymore?
wikiHow Contributor
Check with your doctor first, but all forms can be adapted to the needs of the student. They can even be done sitting.
Where can I get a Tai Chi video or instructional teaching aid?
wikiHow Contributor
Check your local library and YouTube. Libraries should have a few videos that can be checked out, and several books on the topic. YouTube has many instructional videos, with some offering items for purchase.
