Practical Tai Chi Chuan
A Complete System
Tai Chi Chuan is based on the Ancient Chinese philosophical notion of Yin and Yang.
A complete system of Tai Chi Chuan contains a balance of Yin and Yang
Yin
This is the widely known passive, meditative, therepeutic aspect of Tai Chi that can be found in hand froms and qigung.
The slow gentle movements of the hand form loosen and strengthen the muscles and relax the joints. Continuous practice stimulates the nervous system, and improves circulation, respiration and digestion. The slow movements, slow down the breathing having a calming effect.
Regular practice of Tai Chi Chuan can bring both physical and psychological benefits.
Yang
Many people practising Tai Chi Chuan do not know this aspect of Tai Chi. Tai Chi Chuan is in fact a sophisticated and subtle form of self defence.
The yang aspects are found in aerobic exercises, weapons forms, the competitive elements , push hands and combatitive techniques. Learning Wudang Tai Chi Chuan
Wudang Tai Chi Chuan offers students a complete system of Tai Chi Chuan. Students learn in small class groups or individually progressing at their own pace, depending on their personal requirements and level of fitness.
Some students focus on the health benefits and improving fitness, to be gained from the forms, chi gung and nei gung.Other students focus on developing an understanding of the self defence applications and push hands techniques. The more dynamic students work at more vigorous exercises and train for forms and push hands competition.
