Tai Chi or Tai Chi Chuan is a kind of exercise that doesn’t
entail only meditative and relaxing states but also the martial art aspect. If
can be a sort of self defense like judo or karate.
Tai Chi Chuan is also known as “Supreme Ultimate Fist”.
Which means that it can be used in terms of grand styles in fighting. It uses
the philosophy of the positive and negative energy which is known as the
yin-yang symbol.
Tai Chi Chuan is somehow based on duality as the philosophy
applies. It came centuries ago since the time of Taoism which is the basis of
the martial art. This kind of martial art uses slow movements that flow through
the different nerves and vessels of the body to develop relaxation, inner power
(known as Chi) and leg strength.
Many questions involving the usage of Tai Chi in terms of
martial art is given such contradiction. Tai Chi is an advanced level of
martial. But that is all supported by backbone theories.
So the question goes, “How does this kind of slow motion
exercise be a matter of self defense?” Contradictory to what other arts teaches
you, in Tai Chi, you are taught to move slowly in order to move quickly. The
precision of Tai Chi and impeccable coordinated movements give justice to the
query. If done in a fast form, Tai Chi can doom to fail because it is equated
to coordination and the sense of being one thus being done in quick but
imprecise motion can end up with the crucial details to disappear.
