On Tai Ji Quan (Tai Chi Chuan)
Chinese Martial-Arts.
"Taiji" (Taichi) or "Taijiquan" (Taichichuan) is a very beautiful, graceful
and powerful Chinese martial-art that is also great for self-defence,
exercise, fitness, recreation, sport and self-mastery (mind and body).
"Tai Ji" (Tai Chi) is equally suitable for individual practice sessions and
also practices with the whole family.
There are many different forms / styles / family of Taijiquan
(pronounced as "Tai4 Ji2 Quan2" in Mandarin Chinese or "Tai Kek Kuin" in
Cantonese Chinese and also commonly spelt as "TaiChiChuan" in the west).

over the years, each and everyone has become an exemplary form / style
of its own that commands the respect and support of the whole

About WUSHU (Chinese Martial Arts) & Martial Arts Of The World In General
"Martial art" is more than a skill for fighting or
self-defence (self defense). "Martial-art" is also a very good
for fitness, stamina, sport, recreation, exercise,
good health, weight control, and especially for
mastery of self (body and mind).
Many types of "martial art" from all over the world are also
suitable for the whole family, regardless of gender or age.
"Martial art" can be a great family activity for bond building,
self-cultivation, character building and self-discipline.
The Great Martial Art Teachers / Masters / Gurus Of The World
Most of the great martial art teachers / masters / gurus / laoshi /
sensei / shifu of the world,
happened to be great thinkers and philosophers too. Very often they are also
spiritual leaders of charisma, to their disciples and students.
Sufficient mastery and control over our mind and body through regular
disciplined exercise and practice, over a certain period of time,
will help a person discover great wisdoms and depth of thinking.
That's why martial art is also a favourite path for cultivating,
by those who are seeking "the truth" and "the way".
Martial art can help a person discover strength, courage, and calm
in his heart and mind. When we have total mastery and control of our
physical body and our mind, we will have calm and peace, and with it,
we will be able to observe, contemplate and analyse things very clearly.
Chaotic amidst calmth; Calm amidst chaos.
Weakness behind might; Strength behind softness.
Rest, while moving; Movements, while resting.
Balance, equilibrium; The Yin & The Yang.
Empty limbs act as weapons; Weapons act as limbs.
Teacher becomes student; Disciple becomes master.
Enemies, become friends; Friends, become foes;
Opponent becomes self; Self becomes opponent;
Who is who? What is what? To fight or to flight?
Winning is losing? Losing is winning? .....
Martial-Art Training Helps A Person Master Over Self
"Martial art" helps a person masters over self physically, mentally,
emotionally and spiritually.
The regular trainings and the rigorous regimentations stretching over a long
period, will enhance a person’s character, if he truly puts his heart and
soul into them.
Dedicated martial-artists will notice that as time goes by, apart from
greater control of their physical body and reflexes, they will also have
better self-discipline, greater self-confidence, and stronger self-reliance.
Their self-respect will also increase as their level of dignity increases.
Another obvious change that takes place is in the martial-artist’s heart.
The more powerful and skillful a martial-artist can fight,
the more he doesn’t want to fight.
Yes, the path of non-violence comes
naturally when you have reached a certain level of self mastery.
You will realise that you prefer to diffuse an explosive situation,
instead of adding fuel to it … and very often you are in control.
"Know yourself, know your enemy … 100 battles, 100 victories.
On the other hand, to be able to subdue your enemy without fighting,
is the ULTIMATE VICTORY!!!"
- Sun Tzu’s Art of War
(Sun Zi Bing Fa)
Yes, an accomplished martial-artist does not fight just because he is angry
or provoked. He will not be emotional. He will be rational.
He fights only when he CHOOSES to because that might be
the only way to resolve the conflict … when there is really no other better
option available.
A practitioner of martial art, will always have total control
over self and act / react appropriately to all situations in life.
He / she is a "warrior", "seeker", "defender" and "teacher" to others who are less
trained and empowered.
