Strength-building

Tai chi was designed to cultivate an unusual kind of strength, which is very different to what you may think of as being strength. The muscles stay loose and relaxed, and avoid tension. Yet, your body gets much stronger. Instead of doing sudden, extreme amounts of work, your body undertakes milder training. As you grow stronger and more capable, the training moves with you, challenging your body without straining it.
