I don't see anything wrong with it. They say it can bring balance to your spirit and body and make you healthier. Nothing about it seems anti-Christian or anti-Bible.

I have practiced Tai chi for 10 years with great benefit to my health. My flexibility, balance & memory have improved along with my self confidence & inner peace. The slow flowing movements are deceptive in their simplicity. They are meant to increase the flow of internal energy (chi) to improve health. But Tai chi was originally developed by peasants as a defense against armed warlords, so it is principally a martial art.
The most important issue for anyone thinking of learning tai chi, is to find a competent, dedicated teacher.
Tai chi is a philosophy, not a religion, so I see no contradiction with Christianity or any other religion.
Don't let your religious beliefs blind you to the rest of the world.

Effectiveness of Tai Chi Chuan isn't any diverse from the different martial artwork. it relies upon first on what the tutorial change into targeted on. some instructors teach their kind as a self-protection artwork. some teach teach it as a sport. some teach it as a youthful ones, or relations pastime. some attempt to teach their preparation as as to attempt to combine quite a few of those issues. If the student has been taught the genuine self-protection applications of their artwork, they have a sturdy probability that their preparation will be sensible for self-protection. If no longer then what they're able to might want to have a lot less benefit in a actual strive against. With that being stated, right it truly is something I witnessed. about 15 years in the past...... i change into requested to attend a journey in Virginia to assist choose. there change into one guy that change right into a Tai Chi Chuan stylist. He did varieties that were sluggish and took better than 5 minutes to finish. easily everyone change into mumbling in the back of his decrease back that his Tai Chi change into ineffective as a battling technique. at the same time as the Kumite/battling all started, this guy change into battling. He fought in straight forward words one strive against. The opponent might want to no longer land a technique. This guy threw in straight forward words one technique. His punch change into so quickly. I blinked and just about neglected the punch. The opponent change into knocked decrease back quite a few ft. he change into heavily injured and paramedics labored on him for a lengthy time period. the guy change into nonetheless subconscious at the same time as he change into transported to the well-being facility. when we left the journey, we nonetheless did not recognize the project of the injured competitor. no human being puzzled the effectiveness of the Tai Chi after that strive against. ....
