Chen San Feng Tai Chi founder
In our first part of our
Tai Chi for beginners we look at some essential elements in learning this fine art, though there is one major consideration that needs to be look at and we will discuss that here. As some of you are aware
Tai Chi Chuan has profound healing elements and can also be use in self defense. I believe that practicing Tai Chi will help balance our internal energies and help us in understanding or embracing those energies better, helping us interact in a more balanced way. In this world there is no Yin without Yang and Yang without Yin. When deciding to study Tai Chi you would have a very important consideration to make, this is whether you wish to embrace your Yang energies as well as your Yin energies as both are within you and around you regardless if you are male or female and both these energies are an important part of understanding Tai Chi Chuan. Tai Chi Chuan was reformed in China around the early part of the 20th century and has taken a softer approach in some schools, this led many people to believe that Tai Chi was only for older folk or for health only. Tai Chi is for all ages, though if one is not practicing the self defense strategies, then one is not really practicing Tai Chi Chuan as it was originally formed and taught. Please be aware it is not necessary to beat on your fellow practitioners, but to inter exchange your energies with others who are practicing these strategies will help teach you, what Tai Chi Chuan is about.
