Research

While the physical, pychological, and emotional benefits are well known in the East, and are apparent to even casual practitioners, western scientific research remains sparse. Research is especially lacking in the case of long term practitioners. We hope to collect and catalogue relevant studies/articles as they come to our attention. If you find an interesting study and would like us to add it to our site, please send it to kcbryantuk@yahoo.com

We recently found the following site which does a nice job of capturing and organizing Tai Chi research and articles:
