”From familiarity with the correct touch, one gradually comprehends internal force Jing ; from the comprehension of Jing one can reach wisdom.” – Classics
The core of Tai Chi (Taijiquan, T’ai Chi Ch’uan) study is about interplay between sparring partners. If you want to train Tai Chi on a martial level, you must cultivate your martial skills. You need to have sparring partners and be able to work with them, whether you are a teacher or a student of this art.
