“The Dao is not sought by deliberately pursuing emptiness, yet emptiness naturally returns of itself. I do not desire to steal true Yang, yet true Yang comes of itself.”

To those that strain to achieve what they think will come by force and crazy chasing...

Taoist internal alchemy and philosophy, often cites this as a core principle regarding the true nature of Wu Wei (effortless action).

It describes that tricky paradox of cultivation: seeking emptiness directly often moves one away from it, whereas letting go of the pursuit allows it to return naturally.

Cultivate your internal energy, or Qi, without a greedy, "grasping mind" especially through desiring achievements or ‘energy’ sensations.

Only through the letting go, the enabling of the natural progression, can we ever hope to achieve Wu Wei

My favourite advert ever...always do the right thing without any debt. Somehow, sometime, it will always return to you. In a smile, a favour, a wish come true or in a million different ways.

Taiji 太極 (The Supreme Ultimate) is not just Tai Chi Chuan 太極拳 (fist of the supreme ultimate/supreme ultimate’s fist or the fist method of Taiji).

Tai Chi Chuan 太極拳 (fist of the supreme ultimate/supreme ultimate’s fist) is a part of Taiji 太極 (The Supreme Ultimate). It is the martial ways of the supreme ultimate not the whole of it. It is right there in the writing, the martial (fist) is added to show that it speaks of one aspect or method of the supreme ultimate.

Taiji 太極 (The Supreme Ultimate) includes a martial element/method, A health element/method, alchemic element/method, cosmic element/method, it includes Qigong, Niegong, meditations, health practices, therapeutic practices, living practices, Longevity, environment elements, along with…the ten thousand things.

Martial skills and Martial ways can never be considered the whole of the supreme ultimate but can of course be considered as part of the supreme ultimate.

There are too many other elements of harmony and living both within the world we inhabit and also within our selves that we could be reduced to a martial element only.

That is of course my humble opinion after nearly six decades of study, practice, learning and exploring....

A personal story from my own understanding…in the 1970s and whilst competing in a no holds barred competition in Thailand, my right hip was split in two…it is ONLY thanks to medical Qigong and a year and a half of constant work, that I can still walk upright.

Over the rest of the years, I have suffered so many knee injuries that I no longer have any cartilage to separate my knees…it is ONLY thanks to Tai Chi and medical Qigong that I can still practice at all.

When I read the inane…Tai Chi is only about martial skills posts, it fills me with a sadness. A sadness that the rest of this wonderful art, that includes Qigong is somehow considered as separate from Tai Chi and of a lesser importance.

Tai Chi is an amazing thousands of years long human exploration into what is possible both within and without the existence we live in. Its Macro-Micro aspects are breathtaking in their understanding of both humanity and the worlds we inhabit.

This is the Tai Chi we teach here in Tai Chi Rebel!

These are some of my teachers....
