What is Tai Chi Chuan and how does it satisfy what you’re looking for?

GrandMaster William C.C. Chen often refers to what follows as part of his: “Dictionary of Terms” or Definitions of “helpful” terms and phrases.

You will see how they apply to body mechanics of tai chi chuan. Master Chen commonly uses analogies to help his students to understand and visualize. This helps to understand tai chi chuan applications.

A.I. and I decided to write about tai chi. It took me 57 years; it took AI less than 57 seconds!

Tai chi chuan is a Chinese martial art that involves slow, graceful movements performed in a meditative and mindful manner. It emphasizes flowing movements and relaxed breathing to promote physical and mental well-being.

The practice of tai chi chuan typically involves a series of choreographed movements called a "form.” The movements are performed in a sequence, with each movement flowing seamlessly into the next.

The physical movements of tai chi chuan are characterized by slow, deliberate movements that are designed to promote balance, flexibility, and strength.
Some common movements in tai chi chuan include:

• Ward off: a movement where the practitioner uses their hands to deflect an opponent's attack

• Grasp the sparrow's tail: a sequence of movements that involve shifting weight from one foot to another while using the hands to guide and control an opponent's movements

• Cloud hands: a series of flowing movements that involve sweeping the hands and arms in circular motions

• Single whip: a movement where the practitioner extends one arm and hand while shifting their weight onto one leg

Overall, tai chi chuan is a beautiful and graceful practice that can be both relaxing and energizing. It is often practiced for its health benefits, but can also be used an effective self-defense.

Will the real tai chi please stand up?

How long each day do most tai chi practitioners practice tai chi; practice doesn't have to be limited to 10 minutes a day. Tai Chi is a useful aid during any activity; and can be learned to be incorporated into your way of life, so that it can enable anyone to walk, jog, lift, push, pull or even dance with more ease and efficiency. The principles of body mechanics that you learn as your body get used to moving efficiently when practicing tai chi should be used all the time. Energy flow is channeled during all activities; your body develops muscle memory, even when you are outside walking.

When walking outdoors focus on weight distribution and relax the muscles surrounding the rib cage. As you are stepping down or compressing your energy, the balls of the forward foot and the heal maintain contact with the ground and the big toe presses down during the action step.

It can even be practiced in the gym. Just visualize the elliptical machine..The big toe on the right foot is coordinating with the thumb of the left hand. ... All 4 limbs must move in a correlated manner.


As you walk on slippery surfaces such as the snow make sure your rib cage is relaxed. As you walk in the snow or on any slippery street sinking/rooting is essential.

As you come up to a very heavy door, body coordination makes it easier to open. You cannot as shown here be off balance. You must coordinate the action with the rest of your body’s energy.


When dancing "pressing" and "flipping" to lead....pressing down on the big toe and following with the toe of the other foot In all the above examples the tai chi principles are evident. Tai chi is basically single weighted...or, in other words the bulk of weight distribution is always on one foot.

During each action breathing occurs, during pre-action energy is compressed. The rib cage muscles must always be relaxed and the action must be coordinated with breathing.

My Own Experience
For a few years I was a student of Tae Kwon Do, a fast paced kicking oriented and powerful form of Korean karate, in a school on 23rd street in Manhattan, New York. One night after training, some of the other students asked if I wanted to go with them down the block to see a school that had recently opened where a Chinese soft-style martial art, the “60 movements” Yang style Tai Chi Chuan, was being taught by a Master. I’m happy decades later that I went with them,
