What are the benefits of group practicing if you can do Tai
Chi in your backyard? Well, from the many years I have been
doing Tai Chi and Qing Gong, I would like to share with you
one benefit of group practice.
Getting the Qi from the Group
When people practice Tai Chi together, there is a Qi Chang (气场) (energy field). Everyone is benefited from the Qi Change.
Have you noticed that you are warmed up more quickly when
practicing with a group? If you concentrate on your own
practice instead of looking around, you can feel it. This
energy flow helps your body and mind to relax.
Have you noticed that you can do two hours of Tai Chi exercise
with a group without being exhausted but it is hard to do that
long at home when you are alone? The group energy has helped.
Note that the group has to be a happy group to generate the
positive Qi.
Be in a group and enjoy your practice!

This is a nice article! I am not a Taiji practitioner but the team spirit certainly goes beyond group practice in Taiji. I play volleyball and it is the the individual's mood, the spirit of both teams that ripple back and forth between each one's heart and the entire gym.
A good, positive atmosphere will make the time go by faster. We could play better games and feel rather "accomplished" than "tired" after 2.5 hours.
