Meeting every Mon day, Wednesday and Friday in Randall Hall, the club gathers to learn and practice the 24- and 88- step routines in the Yang form of Tai Chi. The slow, yet precise movements of the form make it -easy for anyone to learn regard less of age or physical condition. Novices start out work ing on the 24-step rendition of the Yang form, eventually graduat ing on to the more advanced 88- stepset. Practicing the form al- lows limbs to loosen up and joints to open, making it possible for the Qi, or most basically, the internal energy to flow freely throughout the body. Proper circulation of. one’s Qi leads to increased vital ity and consistent good health, that, as a result, prolongs life. It is an internal strength training, in that practitioners are out to recognize the Qi phenomenon and to gain control of this force. Although awareness of the Qi is paramount in Tai Chi, club members are not expected to immediately recognize their in ner strength. Instead they are encouraged to take time to con centrate on the movements of the form while regulating breath. In ner recognition of Qi does come eventually as it has for the.club’s president, Kandi Starr. She has “found a calm medium in life,” an inner peace from the Qi expe rience, she said. Aside from the hard to describe metaphysical benefits of Tai Chi, Starr extols her “in creased flexibility, improved breathing control and a longer attention span,” a necessary vir tue for a student. Together with the spiritual discipline Tai Chi provides, one is capable of get ting perhaps the most rounded exercise available.
