108 Tai Chi Moves

Welcome to the 108 Tai Chi Moves!

Tai Chi is a peaceful Chinese form of exercise that can be practiced by anyone at any age. The arm movements can even be done in a wheelchair or sitting at your desk.

Tai Chi is based on a set of 108 moves with exotic names such as “Strum the Pei Pa,” “White Stork Spreads Wings” or “Carry Tiger to Mountain.”


Tai Chi sample: Moves 4, 5, 6 - "Single Whip"; "Step Up and Raise Hands"; and "White Stork Spreads Wings"

There are many styles of Tai Chi. But there is, in particuliar, a simplified form of Tai Chi, which was developed by Master Moy Lin-Shin in the 1970’s, according to the Taoist philosophy. It is not to be practiced as a martial art technique or in a competitive spirit, but rather as a means to cultivate every aspect of health. Because of its relative simplicity, it is a very appropriate form of tai chi for beginners.

The health benefits include: improved circulation, balance and posture; increased strength and flexibility; and reduced stress. Regular practice benefits the entire physiology including the tendons, joints, spine, connective tissue and internal organs. It restores the calmness and peace of mind that is often lost through the desires and anxieties of daily life.


Just six months after having open heart surgery, I went on a cruise to Asia, and did a bit of Tai Chi everywhere I went.

If you are interested in tai chi for beginners and want to learn this simplified form of tai chi, you may want to order a DVD in English or in French.
