MARION - Body parts may wear out with age. That doesn't mean the end of grace.

 

Thirty-four participants, including several who credit tai chi with helping to tame various physical ailments, put grace on display Saturday during Marion's observance of World Tai Chi Day.

They demonstrated long and short forms of what originally was used as a form of self-defense but now remains a popular form of low-impact exercise.

 

"I love it. I've been at it six years," said Marion resident Janet Wulff, who said she just turned 80. "When I go to the doctor, they tell me how much better I move now."
