Students learn Wu Ji Zhuang, the first stage in Taichi
Standing Meditation. Traditional Taichi training starts from Standing
Meditation instead of Taichi forms/postures. This is how Taichi masters taught
Taichi within their own families. With consistent daily practice of Wu Ji
Zhuang, students learn the true meaning of “relaxation” for the body and
“awareness and concentration” for the mind. Thus students can improve their
physical and emotional well-being significantly and also build a solid
foundation for advanced Martial Arts training if they choose to pursue the
path. Students are taught how to correctly position the 18 key parts of the
body: Head, Feet, Neck, Chin, Teeth, Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Finger, Chest,
Upper Back, Abdomen, Lower Back, Hip, Buttocks, Knee, Ankle, and Crotch. Every
student will get chance to feel the instructors when the techniques are
demonstrated. Students gain deeper understanding of the forces of Yin and Yang
that will benefit their TCM study. Students also acquire valuable skills to
heal themselves through mind and body exercises that can be done anywhere and
anytime. They learn to follow the way of Taichi at home, work and everyday
life.
