Sculpture of a master of t'ai chi ch'uan (Hong Kong). T'ai chi ch'uan (or t'ai chi) is a Chinese system of callisthenics
characterised by coordinated and rhythmic movements; deriving from the
martial arts, t'ai chi was developed as a form of self-defence in which
good use of co-ordination and balance allows effort to be minimized. It
has recently been introduced as a holistic approach to the therapy of
equilibrium disorders. Have a look at Timothy Hain´s website
