Taiji is one of the Chinese Traditional martial ['mɑ:??l] arts. Long long ago, it was designed as a unique and profound self-defense technique. As an ancient Kongfu, Taiji includes quan, sword, broadsword, spear, push-hand,et cetera. Especially push-hand is well known for its tactic ['t?ktik]and technique, the powerful and aggressive opponent [?'p?un?nt] being defeated by a small clever attack or an abrupt explosive [ik'spl?usiv] power. As a typical artful Chinese Kongfu, hand push has been highly popular with the small and weak people. 太极拳是中国传统武术之一, 是很久以前作为一种独特而高深 的自卫方法诞生的。作为一种古老的功夫,太极包括拳、剑、刀、枪、推手等。尤其是推手,素以技巧闻名,强大有力的对手被小而巧妙的攻击或突然的爆发力所击败。作为典型的技巧类的中国功夫,推手备受弱小者的青睐. Concentrating on correct posture and breathing control, Tai Chi's movements are fluid['flu(:)id], graceful and well balanced, promoting the complete harmony of body and mind.

Tai Chi is a sport that strengthens the body as well as the mind from within. 太极是一项非同寻常的武术运动,它由内而外强健我们的身体和心灵。在这项运动中，柔比刚更强，缠绕比直线运动更好，化力比正面冲突更有效。和西方那些追求更快更强的运动如橄榄球不同，

Taichi origins To know the taichi origin, we must clear about the implication of the word---- taichi. ＂tai＂ is taixu which means the highest, the greatest and the remotest, ＂xu＂ means emptiness, taichi (in Chinese) means the great void, the universe, absolutely empty, lack of substance, but is full of energy, taichi is the highest and final state which all Kungfu practitioners long for. The universal principle is that taichi producing yin and yang which are the two opposing principles in nature, the former feminine and negative, the latter masculine and positive. In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin and yang has the wonderful property of unity of opposites, being interdependent, well coordinated and transforming each other. Based on these characteristics, and combining yin and yang, a unique set of exercises was created, so we call it ＂Taichi＂.If you adhere to the requirements of each posture strictly and study assiduously and perseveringly, you can finally reach the perfect Kungfu state ------ ballencing yin and yang, that is to say, 50% yin and 50% yang, unifiing the figure and internal energy just like the Taichi pattern ------- an integral whole.

Wudang Style: According to various popular oral traditions Taijiquan was created by Zhang Sanfeng at Wudang mountain but there is no evidence in the written historical records to connect Zhang Sanfeng to Taijiquan. However, Wudang style Taijiquan is becoming more widespread in modern China. More reliable records claim that Taijiquan has its origin in Chenjiagou Village, Henan Province. But it was not until the mid-17th century that Chen Style Taijiquan came into being. Experts say, the benefits of Taijiquan, on the one hand, can exercise the muscle, collaterals; On the other hand can adjust the breathing, massage, and internal organs to enjoy the fitness function.

In addition to the physiological benefits, the benefits of Taijiquan is also in the spirit of aftercare. The expert points out, tai chi requirements do keep calm, spirit, the spirit of people is very helpful in mental health. The benefits of Taijiquan covers many aspects of physical and
Popularity of Tai Chi Leaps in the U.S. By Joanna Law (People's Daily Online) 16:26, February 27, 2012 Tai Chi has a long history of tradition in China for thousands of years. In the United States, the martial art’s popularity has been increasing significantly. According to the 2007 National Health Interview Survey, around 2.5 million Americans practiced Tai Chi. Its surging recognition is partly due to the many research and studies that have been accumulated over the past years. Most of them proved the benefits of Tai Chi to patients with chronic diseases. Earlier in February, a new release shows that Tai C hi may help patients who are suffering from Parkinson’s disease. People’s Daily Online USA spoke to the Head of Research of this study. "Nowadays, Tia Chi has been used more often in clinical settings, such as rehab settings and physical therapy settings. It is part of their rehabilitation techniques to treat patients with different disease problems. That’s a big step forward for Tai Chi,” said Professor Fuzhong Li at Oregon Research Institute in the United States. The study, titled “Tai Chi and Postural Stability in Patients with Parkinson’s disease”, gives new hope to many people whose daily lives are hampered by balance impairments. People suffer from this disorder have high risk of falling and are unable to perform challenging tasks. The study shows that Tai Chi may help patients to regain physical balance and functionality performance, allowing them to accomplish certain basic tasks, such as grabbing a shopping bag from a table. The study says that “Tai Chi training appears to reduce balance impairm ents in patients with mild-to-moderate Parkinson’s disease, with additional benefits of improved functional capacity and reduced falls.” "What is good about Tai Chi is that it’s highly self-initiative,” Li said. “It is done in slow motion and movements, a nd it is done in a continuous and rhythmical pattern. More importantly, it’s controllable. It is controlled by the mind.” The program of the research was different from the Tai Chi programs typically offered by the communities, Li said. Traditionally, a Tai Chi master would instruct students to center themselves by putting their body mass in the centre to avoid being uprooted by opponents. Li’s approach was the opposite. It urged patients to move away from the centre. For example, a patient would be asked to lean forward to a point where he or she must take a step to prevent from falling. Li said their approach focuses more on stimulating people’s muscle responses, particularly the muscles related to postural control. "Tai Chi is to stable; the approach we take is to unstable, so that we can train people to readapt the movements, and be able to use that movements in a daily life, such as taking steps and reaching out for an object,” Li said. “In other words, we transform traditional Tai Chi to physical therapy that could help people with balance impairment and people who have difficulties in walking.”

Taichi boxing originated itself from Chen village, Wenxian County. Chen village located at the Qingfeng mountain range, eastern Wenxian County, the village used to be called Changyang village 600 years ago. According to the documents of Wenxian county history, before Ming dynasty, there were almost no signs of human habitation in Wenxian County. Later on, more people from other parts moved to this place gradually, as a legend goes until now,＂The ancestors of present Wenxian county came from Hongtong county, Shanxi province.＂ Chen Bo, the forefather of the Chen family, came from Zezhou Jun (Jincheng city today), and then moved to Hongtong county, Shanxi province. In 1374 Chen Bo moved to Huaiqing Fu (Qinyang city today), just because of his good reputation, honesty, tolerance, and skill in Kungfu, people called the place he lived “Chenbo village”. Descendants of Chen Bo moved to Changyang village (10 miles to the east of Wenxian County) because of much damage and crop failure caused by waterlogging, later with a flourishing population of Chen family, Chanyang village became known as Chen village
