Genoveva tells us her experience with the practice of Qigong Taichi at Escuela Superior Chikung Taichi Haoqing Liu

Hello. My name is Genoveva, I am 66 years old and have arthritis in my knees. I have been practicing Chikung Taichi with Master Liu at the School for many years.

The first thing it helped me with was concentration and relaxation; I noticed this surprisingly quickly. I remember the anecdote of when, without realizing it, I was tying my shoes while balanced.

But it was not simply about balance control, but total control of the body and knowledge of its possibilities, which is automatically applied at every moment; this makes us feel safe and know how to correctly manage our energy, applying it where it is truly needed.

Once you know Tai Chi, it cannot be compared with any type of exercise, even therapeutic exercise, since you can then appreciate the limitations of all of them and the unnecessary overstimulation that each exercised part of the body suffers.

Although much more could be said about everything positive, to conclude, I consider the benefits and pleasure of practicing Tai Chi unmatched; it is a pity that knowledge of it is not more widespread.
