Tai Chi offers exercise, tranquility
by Troy Blackledge
The Print Staff
There’s a new opportu
nity at Clackamasforthoseof you
who are looking for a little inner
tranquility, the Tai Chi club.
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.
The group meets in R 011
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
