Martial Tai Chi™ : Articles : The Trouble with Qi
http://www.martialtaichi.co.uk/articles/trouble_with_qi.php
Martial Tai Chi™. Qi does not exist. The Trouble With Qi. The longer I spend in martial arts circles, the more wary I become of the whole qi methodology. Here are three issues that need to be examined. 1) Is qi real? 2) If it is real, where does it come from? This poses a very real problem. If, as we are told, qi is an omnipresent, spiritual life force - the animating energy within all things, shouldn't there be moral limitations on drawing upon it for personal power? Does this feel right for me? This is...

Martial Tai Chi™. Please note that until further notice, Joanna is not currently taking on any new students (as of Feb 2011). Download our classes leaflet in PDF format. Firstly, we should point out that in keeping with the Classical Kung Fu tradition, the purpose of this page is to put you off. Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot! Comsumerism vs Kung Fu. Well if the above blurb hasn't got rid of you, let's try the direct approach, in the time-honoured tradition of the traditional Kung Fu teacher.

Martial Tai Chi™ : Articles : It's Internal Jim, But Not As We Know It
http://www.martialtaichi.co.uk//articles/internal.php
Martial Tai Chi™. It's Internal Jim, But Not As We Know It. People come expecting to hear about alien concepts - qi or energy and subtle internal aspects. They expect to learn about jin - which only a few will know means nothing more than a release or burst of bio-mechanical power. So-called centimetre jin is not a kind of energy, but simply a way of explaining that a sudden burst of whole-body bio-mechanical power can be released in a very small space. Inch jin is not an altogether different kind of.

Martial Tai Chi™ : Articles : How Taiji Lost it's Quan
http://www.martialtaichi.co.uk//articles/how_taiji_lost_its_quan.php
Martial Tai Chi™. How Taiji lost its quan. As the history of the art has been somewhat clouded by mystery and embellishment, let us first look at what can be stated with certainty. Taijiquan is a fighting art - the clue is in the name - it ends in quan (fist) like virtually all other Chinese martial arts. Returning to point 1), Scott Rodell points out in his article. The Martial and the Civil in Yang Style Taijiquan:. From this we can see three things:. Thirdly we can see that Rodell perceives the civil ...

Martial Tai Chi™ : Articles : Baguazhang
http://www.martialtaichi.co.uk/articles/baguazhang.php
Martial Tai Chi™. Although I mostly teach Taiji and Xingyi these days, Baguazhang (8 Diagram Palm) is actually the Chinese style I've been studying the longest and it has influenced my approach to all of the arts I teach. Baguazhang is, in some ways, the most abstract and generic style we do and its principle-based rather than form-based methodology has influenced the way I approach teaching my Universal Martial Training™. A practical introduction to Baguazhang/Baguaquan. In order to generate power, Bagu...

Martial Tai Chi™. T'ime to get T'ough Campaign. Welcome to the page dedicated to Taiji / T'ai Chi practitioners and clubs that are committed to putting Taiji's martial reputation back on the map.
