About Tai Chi Chuan
It´s an art of longevity, practised by all to develop a balance of body and spirit. It´s based on the theory of Yin-Yang. We work on our internal energy, the Chi, and it´s called an internal martial art. It develops the harmony of gestures and corporal agility, lightens our step and gives us a vitality that irradiates from our body and spirit. It boosts our self-confidence and self-esteem, regulates the blood circulation, strengthens muscles, joints and develops our reflexes. It can be practised by all as it has no side effects.
The form, a series of slow circular movements, joined together in a flowing flexible manner.Is the base of Tai Chi Chuan, and in which the teachings that we acquire are summarized. The practise of Tai Chi Chuan leads progressively to the rooting and control of our energy as well as agility, harmony and peace. It is a search for harmony which gets better all the time. It is not a technique to be mastered; it´s a process of continuous learning about oneself, observing the sensations that are aroused in your body.
Tai Chi should not only be exterior, it should also change the interior of those who practise it, working from inside, so we don´t only practise the forms but our internal energy too.
Tai Chi is more than a technique or style of this or that school. It´s more than a tool to reach longevity, health and relaxation. It´s more more than a martial art, of combat or self-defense. It is a philosophy of life, it is a way and attitude to understanding nature and human nature. On the other hand, don´t even look for the benefits of its practise,or intend doing so because if you do you will miss out on the experience of your Being, what you yourself actually are. Expecting to feel the Chi, or the channels, or the energy, visualizing the dantien leads you to carrying out the practise mentally, subtly but far from the principles of TaiChi: and it´s therefore unrewarding. Later on you can define express and identify these reactions, objectively and without criticism, simply sharing the experience.
