---能够强身健体。
---有温和，圆润的招式。
---能够使身心结合。
---有很多不同的招式。
---能够使人通过运动感到愉悦。
---从几世纪前就被人们认识到可以治疗关节炎。

太极拳注重正确的招式和呼吸的调整，太极拳的招式是流动的，优雅的，有很好的平衡性。能够完全调和身心结合。在当今高压的生活下，太极拳可以提供精神的放松和肉体的舒适。

太极和我们通常认为的加强肌肉力量的想法完全不同，它强调由内向外，以柔克刚，以圆周运动比直线运动要好，以退为进。它和西方的运动尤其不一样，比如橄榄球要求运动员动作越有力越快就越好。太极是一种由内同时增强人的意志和肉体的运动。

Concentrating on correct posture and breathing control, Tai Chi's movements are fluid, graceful and well balanced, promoting the complete harmony of body and mind. Tai Chi provides the mental relaxation and physical fitness so essential in our modern stress-filled lives.

Tai Chi is an unusual form of martial arts whereby we believe in building strength - mental and physical from within, softness is stronger than hardness, moving in a curve is better than a straight line, yielding is more efficient than confronting. It is especially different from western types of sports such as rugby where the harder and quicker the better. Tai Chi is a sport that strengthens the body as well as the mind from within.
