"In tai chi we create a structure 

and relax into it. 

We let go of muscular strength (li) 

and move with mind intent (yi)."

"Tai chi is easy because 

it's based on simple rules. 

Tai chi is hard because 

you have to follow all of 

the simple rules at the same time."

"The classic principles of tai chi 

are a road map to tai chi refinement."

Taichi class in its Chinese birthplace takes on global zeal

 

Taichi Class in Its Chinese Birthplace

Takes On Global Zeal

Marvin Dietzmann-kolbe and many other foreigners 
are learning authentic Taichi in Chenjiagou Village 
in central China's Henan Province, the home of Taichi. 
After a rush of foreigners came to China to learn Kungfu 
in places like the Shaolin Temple, Taichi becomes 
a new fashion. Instead of fierce confrontation, Taichi 
demands slow movement and benefits people's health.
