Wudang Tai Chi 36 Forms(1-9)

Background Story:

The course includes The Wudang Tai Chi 36 Forms 01-09.

The Wudang Tai Chi 36 Forms has a long history and rich cultural background. It is said that this form was created by the famous Ming Dynasty Taoist, Zhang Sanfeng. Zhang Sanfeng, considered the founding master of the Wudang sect, developed this unique Tai Chi form during his time of secluded cultivation on Mount Wudang by integrating the Taoist theories of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements with his martial arts experience.

The story begins with Zhang Sanfeng’s cultivation on Mount Wudang. He spent years observing the changes in nature, understanding the mysteries of the cosmos, and gradually forming a martial arts system that harmonized Yin and Yang and balanced hardness and softness. One day, during a session of meditation, Zhang Sanfeng had a moment of inspiration and created the 36 forms of Tai Chi. Each form embodies profound philosophical insights, reflecting the Taoist principles of combining reality and emptiness and following the natural way, while also possessing powerful combat capabilities.

It is said that Zhang Sanfeng was very particular about the character and comprehension of his disciples when teaching the Wudang Tai Chi 36 Forms. He believed that practicing this form was not just about physical fitness but also about cultivating one’s character and inner virtues. Therefore, he only taught this martial art to disciples who were upright and sincere.

Over time, the Wudang Tai Chi 36 Forms gradually spread throughout the martial arts community, gaining widespread attention and admiration. Many martial arts enthusiasts traveled to Mount Wudang to learn this miraculous form, hoping to master it. The Wudang Tai Chi 36 Forms not only preserves the essence of traditional Chinese martial arts but also incorporates Taoist philosophical thoughts, making it a unique cultural heritage.

Description:

This course is based on the authentic Wudang Tai Chi, which, after being lost for many years, is now widely studied and promoted by later generations.

Taoist thinking: our body is a whole life system, many local problems are caused by the imbalance of the whole body system. So We have to focus on the whole system, keep and increase energy, smoothen the meridians for energy flow, to nourish each organ and part of our body.

Theoretical Foundations:

The relationship between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Taoism is deeply intertwined. Taoism, as a philosophical and spiritual tradition, has significantly influenced the principles and practices of TCM. Here are some key aspects of their relationship:

Philosophical Foundations: Both TCM and Taoism emphasize the balance and harmony of yin and yang, as well as the flow of qi (vital energy) throughout the body and the universe. This reflects the Taoist belief in living in harmony with the Tao, or the natural way of the universe.

Preventive Focus: Both traditions emphasize prevention over cure, advocating for maintaining balance and harmony to avoid illness. This aligns with the Taoist idea of nurturing life and preserving health.

Spiritual Practices: Practices such as meditation, Qigong, and Taichi, which are rooted in Taoist tradition, are often integrated into TCM for their health benefits, reflecting the shared goal of achieving balance and harmony.
