Tai Chi Chuan is far more than a set of calisthenics; indeed today it is still devastatingly effective, when used properly. To study requires discipline, dedication and patience. Tai Chi is reputed to have profound benefits on our unhealthy & stressful lives. Tai Chi was the national exercise of China and is now becoming very popular here in the West, as a way to relax. The term most used by Yang Cheng Fu was Fung Sung; meaning to Sink & Relax. In the West people tend to want to know why and what's it for at the outset. In the East they instruct what to do, and if you are patient, diligent and have perserverance they will even explain how to do it and when to use it. That way you can incorporate the skills into your whole life.
