We’ve added a popular new Tai Chi and Qi Gong class to our exercise regime! The class is graciously taught twice per month by Donna Klucevsek, resident Tilly Cardinale’s daughter, who owns Feisty Lion Martial Arts and Fitness right here in Sandwich in Merchants Square.
Donna, who got into self-defense for women in her 30’s and then transitioned to Karate and then full martial arts, including Judo, Aikido, Tai Chi, and Marshal Arts Weapons, says that martial arts has been a great stress reliever for her. “I love hitting the bags.”
She explains that Tai Chi is great for seniors because it is essentially, “moving meditation” and Qi Gong is wonderful because it’s “deep breathing.” She explained that both practices help older adults with stress relief, but also balance and flexibility. She said, “It’s slow and not overwhelming, but they are still working.”
Donna says that she loves seeing so many people participating and enjoying the classes.
