For several tens year practicing, we had published the U-Jin Tai Chi Journal over two years. This Journal has the valuable instruction and information about Tai Chi Chuan concepts. Today many teachers find the principles and theories to exist too much problems, all of them want further to understand. In that time my students have gradually offered their point of view, although these views only were belonging to themselves thought, therefore, it is important for beginners. It is difficult to illustrate the various kinds of questions, any teacher have himself point of view, but it is not able to answer these questions more fully. Now Tai Chi Chuan is getting more popular and more many people in the world are trying to learn it. Therefore we want to exert ourselves efforts to write a simple learning experience to use simple language for the benefit of beginner in health and safety. This Journal may serve as an introduction approach to obtain the valuable information.
In the Tai Chi Chuan 37 forms description, the pictures were taken from my students and were illustrated the 37 forms in detail description. Each exercise is performed to involve two purposes, first is developed the posture movements, and next is trained for its application for pragmatic skills. By the posture is meant the movements and rhythm that make up the exercise art. And by its application is meant its usefulness to take care of their health and self-defense. Since these double aims often confuse the beginner, we concern with the Tai Chi Chuan as physical exercise rather than as a fighting sport. The students may redesign with this purpose in health view. Very simple explanations can help beginners to understand the profound principles. It is further explained the continuity and connection of the movements, their speed and rhythm, so as to remove any doubt or misunderstanding depending on journal valuable instruction.
The important point to remember is that posture must be in complete relaxation and in breath naturally. The muscular disposition and flexing with the different parts of the body take up for successive posture or movements. There should be no deliberate straining of the muscles only keeping relaxing. The old masters used to say that “with a tense posture, even thirty years’ practice will avail one of little. It is useless as a fighting sport, ineffectual as a form of physical exercise, and not be a best way to pursue ourselves rejuvenation.” It is always to remind for every beginner, Tai Chi Chuan was to pursue our health and safety only! It next purpose shall is our defense!!
