\"TT\"<\/a>I first studied Tai Chi extensively in the 1970’s while living in Cincinnati.\u00a0 Later I studied with another teacher in St. Paul Minnesota (I cannot remember his name). At one point in\u00a0the early 1980’s the company I worked for asked me to open a new territory in St. Cloud Minnesota. There I met T.T. Liang. He was 86 years old at the time and in St. Cloud with his wife because his daughter was a graduate student at St. Cloud State University. I loved TT!\u00a0 I studied with him and Stuart (his number one), for quite some time. I learned his 150 movement long form, Tai Chi Sword and Push hands.\u00a0 The best learning was that of\u00a0wisdom from TT.\u00a0 I currently teach Tai Chi to a couple of students. I do not charge for lessons. \u00a0I am still learning about Tai Chi and always will be.\u00a0 It is a long\u00a0term, life time, study.\u00a0 If you think about it, it took most of us a couple of years to really begin to master walking and running and skipping and hopping.<\/p>\n

Tai Chi has been shown to help with many things: reduced stress, anxiety and depression, enhanced mood, balance, arthritis, pain control, cognitive effects of chemotherapy, depression in the elderly, bone health and inflammation in postmenopausal women. If you like to read articles here is a link to my links page with many articles on the benefits of learning and doing Tai Chi.<\/a><\/p>\n
