10 Minutes of Tai Chi a day would do you well... with a real instructor, not AI slop... Skip the misleading ads, look up a tai chi school near you or find an instructor online that you trust.

When it comes to martial arts focused Chinese dramas, ATV’s Blood Debt may have the crispest fight choreography.
Even with undercranking it looks amazing. Just good old fashioned shapes.
There are loads of fights scattered throughout, too. Definitely one for genre fans to seek out.
