Developed in China several centuries ago, Taiji Quan (Tai Chi Chuan) is a unique practice that can increase energy, balance, coordination and harmony in the body and mind. In 1925, Grandmaster Yang Ch'eng-fu offered ten essential principles to be followed for optimal benefits of the ancient art. The ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES of TAIJI QUAN provides a new and simplified approach to understanding the classic, fundamental concentrations with aim to balance energy for the improvement of overall well-being. Now, centuries later, Taiji is being accepted worldwide with current research proving it to be the perfect antidote for today's world. Media on Taiji is readily available. However, the concentration rests either in the step-by-step approach to learning a form's choreography or in the esoteric philosophies. This writing attempts to interpret and clarify the key principles that thread through Taiji's richness. Its goal is to be the bridge that takes the beginner to the next level of understanding and awareness, cultivating a transformation in the practice of all Taiji players regardless of form or style.
