The graceful slow movements of Hwa-Yu Tai Chi increase physical and mental energy and promote a meditative whole mind and body connectedness. This is certainly not the bone-cracking kicks, punches, and flying-through-the-air martial art forms that you may have seen on television. When asked how these graceful, slow-motion movements have anything to do with martial arts self-defense, Master Xavier explains, "Self-defense is really secondary to the health aspects of this form of Tai Chi. You don't recognize the self-defense aspects until you see these movements sped up or in fast-forward. Practitioners are actually preprogramming their neuromuscular memory, through slow, graceful routine practice, to naturally and compassionately ward off, redirect or restrain and incapacitate any harsh attack, while avoiding personal injury." Fascinatingly, the ancient Chinese actually developed a useful exercise that everyone can do -- there's a novel idea. These are certainly benefits you won’t derive from aerobics, Pilates, or your boring treadmill.
Hwa-Yu Tai Chi has been recommended for centuries for the prevention, treatment and reversal of a wide range of common disorders. Routine practice of this graceful, healing form benefits all who study it. Age and physical condition rarely are barriers to this practice.
The healing benefits of Hwa-Yu Tai Chi include:
• Proven beneficial effects on cardiovascular functions, arthritis, diabetes, strength, balance and general health and wellbeing
• Lowers blood pressure, stress and helps eliminate hypertension
• Oxygenates blood, calms the mind and improves reaction time
• Increases energy, relieves muscle and joint tension

• Reduces bad cholesterol levels, severe headaches and low energy
• Enhances concentration, creativity and self-actualization
• Safe, gentle, proven approach to treating chronic pain and disease
• Increases range of motion, flexibility, agility, speed and endurance
• Heighten oxygenation, helps the heart, brain, and other organs receive healing chemicals and increase the bodies healing power.
• Increased healing power is facilitated through unison of whole body movement that incorporates diaphragm breathing

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
