Sign of inner martial arts<\/p><\/div>\n

Taijiquan is an internal martial art and works with inner force<\/a>. Monad with eight trigrams is an emblem for internal martial arts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trigrams show martial ideas – arm techniques. They also symbolize philosophical ideas, numbers, geographical directions, feelings and various physical manifestations. The monad represents a constant change of the Tai Chi Principle<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The classical text at the top of the page says that the power of martial ideas comes from the hips waist. The effectiveness does not depend on the strength of the arms. It is based on the ability to use waist movement in conjunction with leg movements and rotation around the center of the body.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
