Tai Chi as a Martial Art

Form Application

Silk Reeling Energy

Tui Shou (pushing hands)

Chin-Na (locking techniques)

Tai Chi is a sequence of dynamic movements that combine soft and hard with fast and slow actions, in a balanced and natural way that adheres to the philosophical Taoist principles of yin and yang from the “yijing” (Book of Changes). Contained within its framework are spiralling, twisting and unique silk reeling energy movements, jumps, leaps and explosive energy releases.

During practice the body remains relaxed with the practitioner’s consciousness, breathing and actions all closely connected. Partner practice is the link between the Form and self-defence, with the continuous contact required for pushing hands, this will help develop the ability to apply locking techniques.
