Q: Is tai chi a martial art, a meditation practice or
both?
A: Tai chi originated in China as a martial art,
but it is often referred to as "moving
meditation." When done correctly, the practice
serves both the mind and the body in unison. It
has also gained widespread popularity in the
field of complementary and alternative medicine
(CAM).
