困難,苟能精勤研究,歷久不懈,獲益非淺。
The empty hand form routine is the essence. Regular practice strengthens bones and muscles and moderates the circulatory system. Tai Chi Chuan not only prevents disease but is an effective treatment for many existing illnesses. Preventing disease and prolonging life, Tai Chi Chuan nourishes one’s vitality. Two person pushing hands is the application. Pushing methodology follows the Tai Chi principle of movement and stillness. Applications are expressed through the subtle transformations that occur between fullness and emptiness. Applications use the principles of psychology and physics. Softness overcomes hardness, and hardness reinforces softness. Anyone can study Tai Chi Chuan. Movements of the form are purely natural. Long-term perseverance brings profound benefits.
