Tai Chi Chuan Won't Satisfy Chinese Food Cravings

By Antonette Herns


Tai Chi Chuan is not a style of Chinese dish, even though it sounds that way. It also has nothing to do with massage, however the traditional Chinese symbols do translate into some kind of supreme fist which at its weakest can certainly make for an enjoyable or beneficial deep tissue massage. Incidentally, closed fists kneading the muscles near the backbone area of the body is the best part of this sort of massage. "Show me the hand" was how Tai Chi Chuan came to be identified by the Imperial Palace, which with the passing of the years adopted its nickname Tai Chi.

Tai Chi is not commonly thought of as a self defense system, unlike Kung Fu or Karate. Despite its relative unpopularity though, this discipline comprises eight different schools which have been inherited from generation to generation from the late 16th century and onwards. It is additionally steeped in Chinese historic culture and lore. In reality, Confucianism, Taoism and even Buddhism have all contributed to its cultivation and development over the years.

Most Tai Chi practices improve health and well-being, although it is not a form of Chinese medicine. Aside from a good self-defense process, it is first and foremost a way of life that shows the steps to being healthy and living life to the fullest. It is amongst the few ancient Chinese martial arts that respects the yin and yang principle, or the law of opposites which interact to attain harmony in the universe.

These aspects are why many people practice Tai Chi as a method to enlightenment. On top of that, feng shui is also at the foundation of Tai Chi Chuan as the discipline pays homage to the natural principles of balance and energy. Just visualize this demonstration. In contrast to a Karate warrior, a Tai Chi fighter almost never meets force with force.

Quite the opposite, he attempts to deflect it, or even better, use it to serve his or her purpose. To do this, the expert will find a way to throw the attacker off balance, based on his or her in depth knowledge of equilibrium which is the fifth element of the discipline. Although there a wide range of differences between the eight different schools of Tai Chi Chuan, you can find wide agreement between them when it comes to going ahead and breaking the hollow block with a fist, or using its mass and weight to defeat the enemy.
