Internal Martial Arts
Proper training in internal martial arts, such as Tai Chi or Chi Kung, improves physical ability, health, and willpower. Many practice to improve self-defense skills or to gain a "macho" image. For our purposes, however, we recommend a focus on the many health benefits available. Many feel that the primary purpose is to increase the sense of harmony within oneself and in the world. This is called an "internal art" because the progress each person makes internally -- mentally and psychologically as well as energetically -- is often more important than that made externally.
