Tai Chi Chuan has its roots in Taoist meditation and self-defense, both of which remain an integral part of the teachings presented by the ITCCA today. Yang Cheng-Fu is remembered for saying, “Tai Chi Chuan is meditation in movement.” Through practicing the form, the mind becomes calmer in motion. The accompanying mental and energetic techniques support overall health and well-being. When form is empty, the shade dances.
