TAI CHI was originated in China by monks over 2000 years ago. Over the centuries, it has taken many forms including Martial Arts. More recently, a gentler form has been developed which is highly suited to Mansfield u3a members. It has been widely used in physiotherapy, is recommended by the NHS, the British Heart Foundation and other health authorities.

In another recent study, investigators found that Tai Chi helped people with Parkinson’s disease, reducing the number of falls and improving their gait.
The positive effects produced by Tai Chi are many.
