I learned Tai Ji during high school. That time, my club advisor had suggested many times to us perform a dance with Tai Ji. But, none of us have made it. Now, he already retired from that high school. I believe he still has this idea with him. I’m sure he would like to have a look on this Tai Ji performance on China TV for this Chinese New Year celebration.

The movements of Tai Ji by the performers were so smooth. I really impressed. If you are practice Tai Ji, this kind of movement you should aim to. Me too.

It is very common people have misconception of Tai Ji. It just like we watch two men fighting to each other with sword (martial art sword in this case) in the movie. Frankly speaking, that is for entertainment purpose only. In reality, the sword will become saw not sword anymore if you use it to fight like that.

When someone mention about Tai Ji, people will related it as great exercise for the elderly. This is partially true. The elderly certainly benefit from practicing Tai Ji. But, it is not only for the elderly but for young people too. I start my Tai Ji lesson together with friends of mine at age 16. Yes, I start to learn Tai Ji while I was 16. I still remember we were practicing Tai Ji together with elderly in the garden during weekend. What we did there? We were competing to the elderly who was the slower in Tai Ji movement. Sounds crazy?
