Over the past decade there has

been an enormous increase of violence

around the world. This malicious

violence has then transferred into

schooling.

Tai Chi allows for releasing of stress and anger in a non violent, peaceful, and controlled way.

This will lead to less violence in a schooling environment which will lead to less violence in all of the schools interactions.
