I'm going to start a Military Tai Chi practice thread based on this, although I doubt it'll go as far as our Chinese Military Kung Fu thread.

NEW DELHI: Indian and Chinese militaries are often not in the news for their bonhomie, especially since the Doklam standoff that happened last year between the two neighbours. However, a video of a Chinese soldier teaching tai chi to an Indian soldier is winning hearts on the internet.

Tai chi is an ancient Chinese practice focused on flexibility and whole body coordination that promotes harmonised motion in space. Tai chi has been previously proved to be an effective exercise to improve balance control and flexibility in older individuals, suggesting its efficacy in preventing falls.

Relations between India and China were severely hit by the 73-day face-off between the Indian and Chinese armies at the strategically sensitive Doklam tri-junction in the Sikkim sector last year.

Ties between India and China have improved since then after a series of meetings between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese president Xi Jinping. Indian officials say there have been a number of positive developments like Beijing giving market access to Indian products, but much is yet to be done in issues like addressing the widening trade deficit.

This is police not military. Maybe I'll add that to the title if there's another. Or maybe set up a new thread for cops. Or maybe a new thread about Mental Health.

But for now, it's here on Military Tai Chi practice.

NEW BERN, Craven County — Law enforcement is a stressful job for many reasons. Two agencies in Craven County are working to help relieve that stress.

The New Bern Police Department and Craven County Sheriffs office took part in Crisis Intervention Team Training, which allows them to implement different practices into their day-to-day job. The agencies learned how to identify and effectively interact with people who have mental illness, intellectual or developmental disabilities and or addictions, basic meditation as well as verbal deescalation skills. The instructor did so by teaching them Tai Chi, a practice that aims to help them decompress after highly stressful situations.

"It will definitely help out in the future so when we do have some of those stressful calls, we'll be able to take a couple minutes to ourselves and put some of those breathing techniques that we learned today to kind of get the body to calm down so you're not putting stress on your body," said New Bern Police Officer Jeremy Lunsford.

I'm adding "police" to the title of this thread because it just says "military" now.
