When you see the cool kids in school doing basketball tricks you may want to be just like them, being cool or admired by the others … But let me tell you, there’s something that will make you look even cooler. It’s Tai Chi, and you’ll be able to do even better basketball tricks…
In fact, Dragon Tai Chi, just as all ancient Chinese fighting techniques, is not about fighting or self defense only. It is an excellent exercise and needs much more than physical strength. To master any martial arts you need to change your thoughts, causing an overall well-being. When your mind is clear and you don’t get distracted by every small bit around you, you’ll calm down and be able to make these cool movements – with or without the basketball…
Even when you’re not that skilled and your form is not that well executed it’s nice to look at and it’s always elegant. Another upside is that you can practice in groups. Watching several people doing exact the same movements is by far nicer than playing with a basketball.
And when you are really good at it, there are even Tai Chi championships. When you are good at basketball you may only get into the school team … But even there, if you practice Tai Chi you’ll stand out.
