This soft, “internal” martial art is safe to practice at any age with virtually no impact on the knees, ankles, and joints. That makes it ideal for anyone wishing to enhance their health and flexibility while avoiding potential injuries that can result from high-impact workouts. In fact, Tai Chi is often recommended for the elderly, those suffering from long-term illnesses and depression, and those recovering from injuries like falls.
There is significant on-going medical research on Tai Chi, and the results continue to be overwhelmingly positive.
