The ancient founding fathers of Daoist sects passed down and spread <em>Tai Ji Fist<\/em> styles. At first it was intended to circulate qi and blood which had become obstructed after long sessions of sitting meditation, stillness cultivation, the practice of internal alchemy and the cultivation of the Dao. Relying on the <em>Wudang Tai Chi<\/em> principles makes your body mutually suitable for movement and stillness and it is practiced in order to prevent the body\u2019s aging, weakness and stagnation of qi. However one must conform to the Dao of Yin and Yang, movement and stillness. Moreover, in the past there were many robbers and wild beasts, <em>Tai Ji<\/em> was to protect one\u2019s body by the means of cultivating the Dao.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\">\u2022 Tai Ji stresses that:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">\u201cOne moves last, but hits first.\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n.<br \/>\nTherefore <em>Wudang Tai Chi<\/em> is not an initiative and active form of <em>Kung Fu<\/em> for people fond of fighting. It is passive and defensive. Practitioners of <em>Wudang Tai Chi<\/em>, at first need to understand softness and suppleness, stillness and emptiness. The principles of not water nor fire, not hard nor soft, not too much nor too little, not deviation from the center, peaceful without contention. One must regard softness and gentleness as foundation. Softness however does not stand for slackness, tightness does not equate stiffness. Hardness and softness are mutually supportive, therefore effective and never stopping. The reason why it cannot be called softness and the reason why it also cannot be called hardness is that hardness and softness are an indivisible and integral whole:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">\u201cHidden great powers;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Invisible from the outside;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Not leaving a trace;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> Thus it can be named <em>Tai Ji<\/em>;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> &#8211; The Great Finite.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Practicing <em>Taiji Fist<\/em> can be separated into high, intermediate and low fram<span style=\"color: #333333;\">e. <a style=\"color: #333333;\" title=\"Wudang Taijiquan\" href=\"https:\/\/fiveimmortals.com\/wudang-tao\/wudang-taijiquan\/\">Water<\/a> and <a style=\"color: #333333;\" title=\"Wudang Tai Chi\" href=\"https:\/\/fiveimmortals.com\/wudang-kung-fu\/wudang-tai-chi\/\">Fire<\/a> <em>Ta<\/em><\/span><em>i Chi<\/em> are two separate methods.
