Taijiquan is not just a martial arts, it is a health cultivation, a kind of spiritual practice and aesthetics.
Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang said: “Once Dantian’s central status is formed, it can in turn lead the whole body in its movements. Dantain’s leadership helps to establish the afore-mentioned body mechanism on our body, enabling Qi to flow throughout our whole body, connecting all parts together”.
From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, When Qi leads blood to flow through our body, our circulation system gets a very good exercise. Blooding flow is driven by Qi. Any place Qi is having problem flowing through, there will be pain and illness at the point. Once we can get Qi to flow through the spotfreely, we can reduce, or even cure the illness. Through Taijiquan practice, we drive Qi to lead blood flowing through our whole body, reducing chances for illness and pain.
