Why Tai Chi?

Tai Chi is a martial art. Kelly has an unusual perspective of how Tai Chi works as a martial art due to his background. He is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt holder as well as a Kenpo Karate 6th dan, and an MMA fighter and coach and has studied with some of the very best in the world. Tai Chi indirectly helps your other martial arts skills work at a higher level when things “get real”. It allows calmness and the ability to be in the zone which helps you access your other martial arts skills.  Dr. Kelly has experienced this “Zone”  in dangerous situations successfully.

Tai Chi relieves stress and allows the “Relaxation Response” and because of this it greatly enhances your immune system. The stressors we are experiencing in our lives now are unprecedented; isolation, being more sedentary, and the media driven fear at a whole new level. This complex stress can stick us in constant “fight or flight”. When we are in this fight or flight state our immune system shuts off completely and we are not thinking or functioning at our best level. (The Biology of Belief, 2005, pp 119) Blending Tai Chi with The LifeLine Technique is part of what will be taught. LifeLine addresses specific emotional issues.

Nasal breathing, as done in Tai Chi, increases the production of nitric oxide in your body which is a strong defense against viruses and essential for cardiovascular health. See the attached research on nitric oxide. (The Oxygen Advantage, 2015, pp 67)

The partners we are empowering have collectively helped rescue the lives of more than 10,000 survivors who were enslaved, exploited or at risk.” according to O.U.R.
