Taiji (太極) - Lesson for Life

I've pick up Yang style Taiji (太極) in 2008, and is still learning as of today.
Current sifu is Master Chow.

I've decide to learn Taiji, out of curiosity what this art is all about. Is it something that old man/lady do for their morning exercise. Can some art as simple as a morning exercise survive for hundreds of years. There must be something to this art.

After attending the lessons for a couple of months and getting a better understanding (or less understanding because you release you know so little) of Taiji (太極), you will notice the wonder (tip of the iceberg) of the art. No words can describe the art, as you had to personally feel and expericence it, provided that you had a sifu that can show you the way. It is no wonder that that Taiji (太極) is translated directly as the "Grand Ultimate".

Unlike other art (external), Taiji (太極) is an internal art, which you must approach with perseverance more than determiniation (with determination comes expectation). Taiji (太極) is an art that you must practice without expectation. Taiji (太極) is not a quick result orientated art. If you are looking for result, pick a external art. Taiji (太極) reward the people who are hardworking and committed. Having said that, not even a handful of hardworking and committed Taiji (太極) practitioner can tell you what Taiji (太極) is.

I am glad that I had open the door to the wonderous world of  Taiji (太極) - Lesson for Life, and through this blog I hope to share what I had learn.
