Once in a while I come across interesting scientific studies.that study the effects of Tai Chi or are relevant to the practice of Tai Chi in other ways. I will collect some of them here.
I will provide a link for each study as well as a pdf document in case the link should stop working:
An article from JTCM suggesting a very close correlation between qi and interstitial body fluids.
Can Tai Chi Reshape the Brain?
A study involving reaction tests as well as MRI scans of long-term Tai Chi practitioners.
Fighting Words - Four new document finds reignite old debates in Taijiquan historiography
An
article by Douglas Wile about the ongoing attempts by historians to
unravel the mystery of the early history of Taijiquan, and how various
groups try to champion different origin stories.
