Introduction

Tai Ji Quan can be thought of as a physical manipulation or transformation of Qi from Taoism.

Many forms of Tai Ji Quan try to cultivate Qi within the body and ways of transforming the native Qi within ourselves to an extent such that the mind and body are in balance with it. The benefits are supposed to be better health and livelihood.
