Taiji is one of the Chinese Traditional martial ['mɑ:ʃəl] 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 ['tæktik]and technique, the powerful and aggressive opponent [ə'pəunənt] being defeated by a small clever attack or an abrupt explosive [ik'spləusiv] 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 provides the mental relaxation[,ri:læk'seiʃən] and physical fitness so essential in our modern stress-filled lives.太极动作流畅、优雅、协调, 它要求精力集中在正确的姿势和呼吸上,从而全面促进身心平衡。
