Dear Reader,

Welcome to our last issue for what's been a very busy year!

I've shared a favourite quote I find helpful in my own Tai Chi practice and for success in any sport or contest.

There are two video clips, one about the benefits of Tai Chi for those with chronic heart failure, and a second explaining the physiology of Tai Chi and Qigong.

And, as well as the usual insipriation quote, I've also included a tip to protect your knees when doing Tai Chi.

Until the next issue, I'll also wish you all the best for a festive holiday season and a great start to the new year! :)

Regards
Chris Bennett

This week I'm running a special one hour presentation for fifty grade five students at a primary school.

It's part of the Pozitive Kidz are happy kidz program I run, and in this session the emphasis will be on leadership, self esteem and confidence.

All the skills I teach are based on Tai Chi. I simply adapt them to suit the various age groups I work with - from 5 years old to 103 years old!

This clip by Dr Roger Jahnke, OMD is a good overview of the role Chi plays in good health.

It's 12.04 minutes long, and you may find the background music a little distracting for an informational video.

But it's still very worthwhile watching to get a Chinese perspective of Chi!
