For students who should wear or wish
to wear a mouthguard we favor the use of a case. There are no
particularly violent movements in Chen Family style Tai Chi
Chuan where safety requires a mouthguard, but protecting your
teeth, lips and cheeks is not a bad idea if you do not mind
the feel of the mouthguard. We strongly suggest rinsing the
mouthguard before practice - or having an aide rinse it for
you. Usually the student removes the mouthguard when drinking
water or having a snack. |
