Tai Chi - Princeton Spine And Joint Center Podcast

In episode 22 of the Princeton Spine and Joint Center podcast, Dr Zinovy Meyler, the co-director of the interventional spine program at the Princeton Spine and Joint Center discusses Tai Chi with Sifu Tony Jackson, founder of Dao Concepts.

Tai Chi. Most of us are familiar with the common scene in which it is portrayed; a group of seniors practicing slow movements in a park. As you will learn in this podcast conversation, tai chi is far more than that. It is a serious form of martial arts that has many different dimensions including a mental and psychological aspect with multiple benefits.

Our podcast guest, Sifu Tony Jackson of Dao Concepts, has a military background, then went through the corporate world, and ended up using tai chi for his own well being. He learned it to the point where it became a central part of his life. Now Tony is teaching tai chi. In this conversation, you will learn the different benefits of tai chi, the different aspects of tai chi, the psychological component, the historical component, and the physical component that makes this such a great form of martial arts.
