Tai chi has a huge amount of benefits that are not readily noticeable by the eye, like controlling blood pressure.

Over the weekend I learned, by reading a “Harvard Medical Research School” report, that doing Tai Chi can lower blood pressure from minutes to hours after a workout, and after a year of steady practice can lower the base rate considerably.
