Tai Chi is seeing increasing amounts of media attention. Not only for the all-round health benefits it can provide but more specifically for the art’s ability to improve balance and facilitate good cognitive functioning well into old age. As a result, many gyms and health clubs across the globe are now offering Tai Chi classes.
