Features: Tai Chi is one of the main Fist Styles in Chinese Martial Arts, possessing a rich cultural heritage and unique movement methods. In its leisurely and continuous movements, it integrates the dialectical philosophy of "Dao Fa Ziran" (the Way follows Nature) and the philosophy of moderate and humble conduct, transcending the martially oriented techniques of attack and defense as well as methods for physical conditioning. It has evolved into a well-rounded exercise that combines martial prowess, fitness, and moral cultivation, earning widespread popularity not only among the general public in China but also among people in many countries and regions around the world. Since Tai Chi is a Fist Style, it inherently emphasizes practice over empty theory. To help numerous practitioners grasp its essential principles and enter the basics without going astray or taking detours, we have compiled this book. We believe that the answers and analyses provided here will undoubtedly benefit them. This book is divided into three parts: Part I focuses on the basic knowledge of Tai Chi, Part II focuses on the key techniques of Tai Chi, and Part III focuses on the knowledge and key techniques of Tai Chi Sword and Push Hands.
