Tai Chi - T'ai chi ch'uan or Taijiquan

***** Location: Malaysia
***** Season: Topic
***** Category: Humanity

*****************************
Explanation


T'ai chi ch'uan or Taijiquan, often shortened to t'ai chi, taiji or tai chi in English usage, is an internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits. It is also typically practiced for a variety of other personal reasons: its hard and soft martial art technique, demonstration competitions, and longevity. As a result, a multitude of training forms exist, both traditional and modern, which correspond to those aims. Some of t'ai chi ch'uan's training forms are especially known for being practiced at what most people categorize as slow movement.



Today, t'ai chi ch'uan has spread worldwide. Most modern styles of t'ai chi ch'uan trace their development to at least one of the five traditional schools: Chen, Yang, Wu (Hao), Wu, and Sun.

A sickly child through most of his youth, Duan Gen Shan was brought by his distraught parents to China's 1,500 year-old Shaolin Temple, whose "warrior monks" are famous for their rigorous martial-arts training. At Shaolin, Duan received the name Shi Yan Ming and became stronger and healthier as he began to practice meditation and the temple’s unique style of kung fu.
