More To Tai Chi Than Meets The Eye
Tai chi or tai chi chuan is among the oldest forms of martial arts globally. Developed in ancient China, the program was created to enhance training techniques for defense and improve health through physical exercise. Tai chi chuan can be translated to ‘boundless fist’ or ‘supreme fist’. The words ‘taichi’ is actually ‘taiji’ (which can be translated to ‘supreme ultimate’) and is fundamental to both Confucian philosophy and Taoist ideas. The practice of tai chi is structured upon the yin-yang symbol, which connotes the one Ultimate.
