esterners know Tai Chi to be a slow form of exercise, but
its Chinese origins relate to martial arts practice as a
means to develop precise form to repel incoming attack.
The forms practiced take the students through a complete, natural
range of motion over their center of gravity.
Accurate, repeated
practice of the movement patterns are said to retrain posture,
encourage circulation throughout the students’ bodies, maintain
flexibility through their joints, and further familiarize students
with the sequences and forms.
Hmm…that sounds like it may be good training for golf!
Indeed, it is for reasons linked to the way we learn.
At high speed, movement response becomes reactive.
In fact,
it’s normal for golfers to make backswings that last one second with
downswings to impact lasting merely two-tenths of a second.
One’s
ability to influence, modify and learn at such speeds is diminished
based on reactive mechanisms being retrieved from autonomously
