Tai Chi Belly

written by CraigBeattie on January 6th, 2007 @ 01:52 AM. edit (admin only)

Something I hadn’t really thought about before was the propensity for T’ai chi and chi gung folks to have a T’ai chi belly. This could be attributed to the breathing techniques and the development of chi, however other esoteric arts such as Yoga that have the breathing and the Prana development don’t seem to result in a physique that looks like one has had too much beer…

This post on on his recent experiences with Wang Shujin in Taichung, Taiwan prompted these thoughts

    I try to tell myself I have a taiji belly due to all the qi that has accumulated there over time, but ultimately, I think I should just get off my bum and move around more :)

    I have seen some yogis who also have little qi bellies.. maybe there is a connection after all?
