Tai chi, arguably the crown jewel of Chinese martial arts,
is based on a tripod of Taoist philosophy, traditional Chinese medicine,
and the folk martial arts of China. In recent centuries the art has
also become a celebrated longevity practice. Its health benefits range
from reducing stress and blood pressure to bolstering the immune system,
from improving joint performance to improving physical and emotional
balance.
There is a growing body of Western scientific data that show
how and why tai chi is so good for us. My new PBS show, Longevity
Tai Chi with Arthur Rosenfeld, explores this information by taking you
on a whirlwind cross-country tour of some top university research labs
where tai chi is being studied. You'll learn about tai chi's sophisticated
body mechanics, about quantum interpretations of qi (you'll even get
to see me emitting qi from the palm of my hand), and you'll get to
see tai chi practiced from coast to coast.
The show will leave you with a better scientific understanding of the benefits you already
experience if you're a practitioner, and will open a wonderful new
door to wellness for you if you have not yet taken a tai chi class.
By all means tune in, and support your local PBS station by making
a pledge and receiving a wonderful instructional DVD of your own. Your
tai chi journey is about to begin!
