A martial art which also embraces Yin-Yang in a philosophic component. Makes extensive use of Qigong, with marked differences.
The training is gentle and graceful, and there is no need for special apparati. It is a gentle approach for developing power and stamina, as well as calmness and mental freshness. Taijiquan is a very effective martial art, where physical size and mechanical strength are not necessarily winning factors.
