Beyond just learning an external form or forms, 
a student's emphasis must also focus on applying 
the "essential" internal principles of Taijiquan 
as specified by the Taiji classics, such as.....sinking, 
roundness, using the mind and not force, 
applying of the "Yi" (heart/mind), 
"Qi" (energy) & "Shen" (spirit) in one's form.

Taijiquan is evolutionary from the point of view that 

it has been modified by various masters over time. 

If it was Master Lu Gui Rong's journey of the 

internal martial arts has spanned over 50 years. 

He is a master of Wu (Hao) taijiquan, Yang taijiquan, 

and Dayan (Wild Goose) qigong. His Wu/Hao taiji 

lineage is traced from Wao Shou Ru, who was the 

grandson of Hao Wei Zhen. Hao Wei Zhen's teacher 

was Li Yi Yu, nephew of the creator of the style, 

Wu Yu Xiang. The 96 movement long form that is 

demonstrated first is derived from this branch of 

taijiquan. The first section (movements 1 -24) is also 

demonstrated twice at the beginning and end of the form 

repetition segment. The five form movement groups are 

performed four times each before moving on to the 

next group.

 

"Perfection must be sought in balance - 

heart with mind, 

compassion with wisdom, 

inner with outer."

"Stand like a mountain. 

Turn like a wheel. 

Flow like a long river."

"Hey you! 

Get up and get 

your health groove on!"

"Balance is the most difficult art - 

it's so easy to be off-centered 

in many directions."

Tai Chi Meditation Methods:
Open Your Channels to Energy

 Most forms of health exercises, such as Tai Chi Chuan, 
constitute training in three stages: body, breathing, and mind. 
Training of the body means physical presentation of the 
forms. Training of breathing means proper coordination of breathing techniques. And training of the mind means tuning 
the mental state, observation of chi flow in the body, 
 and sensing the interactive relationships 
between the body and the surrounding environment.
