Smile Posted August 6, 2006 Hi Buddy, Thanks for teaching me correct use of Chinese terms. I still believe that the concepts used by the founders of Tai Chi Chuan were not so different from the energetic concepts used in Alchemical Daoism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buddy Posted August 7, 2006 Well that's fine. But remember taijiquan means yin/yang boxing, so only the yin/yang part are the same. Taiji is a fighting style that MAY be used for self development. But chopping wood and carrying water may be used for the same thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
