Tai Ji Quan
Wudang Taiji is a type of wushu practice for personal cultivation. It uses stillness to overcome movement and softness to overcome hardness. Some of its characteristics are moving like floating clouds and flowing water and concealing the hard in the soft. It is a treasure of Chinese wushu and Asian culture in general. Taijiquan is not simply a superficial series of movements. It combines the theories of Wuji, Taiji, and Liangyi into its training method. Combining movement and stillness in its practice.
The practice of Wuji is turning jing into qi, qi into shen, shen to emptiness, and ultimately returning to Dao. It is the practice of internal alchemy and opens the meridians in order to improve the different forms of circulation in the body to promote longer life and helps to cultivate wisdom. This is the highest level of the practice of Taiji.
In the Wudang Taiji System, one practices Liangyi and cultivates Wuji, using Taiji to harmonize yin and yang. Practicing each of the three parts of the Taiji system can have mutual benefit. These three parts comprise the whole of the Taiji system.
Liangyi can be understood as heaven and earth or yin and yang. The two major forms of Liangyi are Xuanwu Quan and Tai Yi Wuxing Quan. In the practice of Liangyiquan great emphasis is placed on what is called “hunyuan li” which can be defined as explosive power or elastic power. Its movements resemble a swimming dragon and a crouching tiger with explosive thunderous power. It is one of the essential practices of the Taiji System. Contained within Liangyiquan is both fast and slow movement as well as hard and soft movement. Other forms within the Liangyi system are Taihe Quan and Taiyi Xuanmen Sword.
