Art of Tai Ji Quan and COVID-19
Due to Covid 19, we have adapted various ways to deliver and teach students through these uncertain times. For example, we now offer online and in-person sessions suitable for beginners and experienced students.
With the constant changes we have had to evolve with, our group can offer stability and reliability. Our teachings emphasise the importance of preserving and cultivating good health and overall fitness levels to help enrich one’s wellbeing and state of mind.
The nature of Covid 19 is to attack the respiratory system, coupled with the varying degrees of symptoms. ATJQ will teach one to primarily learn how to breathe correctly, something we all do naturally. However, if disease disrupts the natural flow and rhythm of one’s cycle of breath, this may cause much discomfort and anxiety.
We teach ancient healing breathing exercises such as Qigong incorporating Dao Yin and Eight Pieces of Brocade as well as preparatory exercises (encompassing mindfulness), specific walking exercises, Slow Form, Small Circle set, Double Edge Sword (Jian), Rattan Whip, Dao (Sword). This forms the basis, but we also instruct the Ball, Bang and Ruler to more advanced students.
These excellent exercises apply one’s consciousness with breathing and movements. As a result, the body and mind become calmer, more robust, and balance the emotions and the functions of internal organs. The roots of these exercises originate from TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). The focus and intention are applied towards acupuncture meridians or channel pathways. Along these pathways are acupuncture points which can stimulate a natural healing response to promote homeostasis.
We encourage gentle exercise, and the benefits can be subtle. The stimulation and scale of internal and external changes can be diverse. Directing one’s awareness to change and transitions of inner and personal development is a rewarding and lifelong journey.
We know the benefits are real but there are five essentials to address during your Tai Ji Quan journey. Perseverance, Patience, Humility, Respect and Belief. These are essential to mastering any art or anything worth achieving.
