The real Tai Ji Chuan is actually subdivided to see who practiced:
Taoist practice is used to cultivate self-cultivation and make a living, and psychological counseling has self-defense skills. Who will mention such a trivial matter as health care if you can cultivate your self and make a living? Molding people will laugh when they hear it. Doing that is like throwing watermelons to pick up sesame seeds.
People who practice martial arts practice in order to practice their functions and work hard. Once you practice kung fu, you will seek deeper and deeper, and gradually step into the road of seeking Tao. Students may come to learn boxing fitness, but the teacher will not teach you the art of fitness. If you suffer, you will become an adult. People who practice martial arts and cure diseases can only practice martial arts if doctors can't cure dead horses. Only by suffering greatly can you be thoroughly remoulded.
Practicing Tai Ji Chuan is actually a very painful process. Can you relate extreme pain to health care?
Hard training is to practice some difficult and high-level Tai Ji Chuan techniques. When you practice, your body will undergo great changes, which is called "thoroughly remoulding". Good health is only the appearance of practicing martial arts, which I call a "by-product". However, it is some people who saw the effect of Tai Chi's "by-product", took the second best, engaged in health culture and health theory, and gave Tai Ji Chuan a good name for health. Really put the cart before the horse!
Tai Ji Chuan is the way to make life as possible, with the functions of attack and defense. That's all! Martial arts is the last skill and trivia in Tai Ji Chuan. How can you talk about martial arts without a strong body? Therefore, the low-level common thing of health and fitness is not worth mentioning. Please don't go to the next floor.
Listen to me, take medicine when you have a headache and fever, and see a doctor when you are sick. Practicing martial arts and boxing can keep fit, so can dancing and swimming. Don't take Tai Chi as a panacea, there is no doubt that you are determined to do your best.
