For many people Tai Chi is know for its health benefits , but there is also a martial side to the art that is rarely discussed.  Tai Chi is known as the Grand Ultimate Fist, to fully understand Tai Chi is to understand the martial arts as a whole.

Here are some Tai Chi Quotes I like:

What is the meaning of rollback energy?
Entice the opponent toward you by allowing him to advance,
lightly and nimbly follow his incoming force
without disconnecting and without resisting.
When his force reaches its farthest extent,
it will naturally become empty.
The opponent can then be let go or countered at will.
Maintain your central equilibrium
and your opponent cannot gain an advantage.

(Tan Meng-hsien)

“Use the mind to direct the chi and the chi to mobilise the body.” Cheng Man Ching (1947)
