Chen Shi Xinyi Hunyuan Taijiquan
The word Taiji is an ancient Daoist philosophical term symbolizing the interaction of yin and yang, which are opposite manifestations of the same forces in nature. The dynamic interaction of yin and yang, underlying the relation and changing nature of all things, is epitomized in the famous "Taiji Diagram." Taiji is often translated as "grand extreme" (as opposed to wuji, which means "no extreme"), and quan means "fist" or "boxing". Thus "grand extreme boxing", orTaijiquan, is a pugilistic art rooted in the Daoist concepts of the interplay and necessary balance of yin and yang.
Hunyuan is defined as "the beginning of the universe," and is often translated as "primordial." It is not found in stillness alone, or, for that matter, in movement alone, but only in the ever-changing cycle of "stillness in movement, movement in stillness."
Hunyuan Taijiquan is a system of Taiji created by Grandmaster Feng Zhiqiang based on Xinyiquan, Taoist Qigong, and Chen Style Taijiquan. My training is under the direction of Dr. Yang Yang, founder of The Center for Taiji and Qigong Studies. Dr. Yang combines scientific and academic research with the training he received from 18th generation masters, Chen Zhaokui, Gu Liuxin, and Grandmaster Feng for a practice that is grounded in ancient tradition and modern research.
