Tai' Chi' has become very popular over the last few decades. And for good reason. It is very beneficial for health.
But it is important to remember a few things.
Tai' Chi' came from a fighting art called Tai' Chi' Chuan
It was separated from that art for the purposes of evading Communist government control. Martial arts were not permitted under Communist dictators because martial arts promotes the strength of the individual. This conflicts with Communist doctrine
It was never intended to be practiced separately. It was a part of a greater whole
Nearly all martial arts had some form of Soft Chi Gung. Tai' Chi' is simply a form of soft Chi Gung that got popularized.
What is important to realize with all of this is that there are far more benefits from soft Chi Gung when you realize what you are actually doing. When you have fighting intent.
This fighting intent was hidden. And then when not taught but passed through generations, lost. Meaning most modern-day practitioners of Tai' Chi' do not understand the application of the art.
That is unfortunate because there is much to be gained from having the complete package.
I demonstrate that concept in this video.
