Tai Chi Chuan means "Grand Ultimate Fist" in
Chinese. It was the ultimate fighting art for
one reason. It held the keys to the only
sure-fire door to personal mastery; body
awareness and self-knowledge. Learn to improve
yourself through relaxation, increased body
awareness, balance and flexibility, while also
learning to defend oneself with minimal use of
effort by applying the concept of accommodation.
Contrary to the popular belief that the Shaolin monks only practiced
the “hard styles,” they actually practiced every major form of internal
martial art. The internal training of the Monks has been passed down in
Shaolin-Do and includes:
|
- Tai Chi Ch’uan (Taijiquan)
- Pa Kua Chang (Baguazhang)
- Hsing-I Ch’uan (Xingyiquan)

Nothing in the world
is softer and more supple than
water, yet when attacking the hard
and the strong nothing can surpass
it. The supple overcomes the hard,
the soft overcomes the strong.

Once in motion, entire body must be light
(Quing) and agile (Ling), it
especially should be threaded
together.
No part should be
defective, no part should be
deficient or excessive, and no part
should be disconnected.
The
root is at the feet, generated from
the legs, mastered by the waist.
- Zhang, San-Feng
