It's amazing to me that teaching Tai chi Chuan has been an complete blast for me. This is really good stuff! It is true that Tai Chi Chuan is about utilizing and transmiting power.

The study of applied force and energy is at the heart of Tai Chi Chuan. This includes but is not just all about tension and relaxation and the balance between them. It definite includes getting physical. I need to better understand the mechanics of my body applying force effectively. It is also whole body power and the transfer of whole body weight. Another clear part of this personal study is that I look at others differently and search for weaknesses automatically.

This study of structure is also part of the health system of Tai Chi Chuan. Tai Chi Chuan practitioners also study how to receive, dissolve and dissipate incoming force thereby drawing their adversary into emptiness. An old Tai Chi Chuan expression is “I know my enemy, he does not know me.” If I am quiet and pliable and he is frozen and inflexible when he pushes or strikes me he will only find a vacumn and when I push or strike him he will be forthwith be pushed or struck by me. I do need to learn more the silat blog though, there is no doubt about that.
