Taijiquan is one of the internal styles of Chinese martial art. It is based on the principle of the soft overcoming the hard and originated in ancient China as a martial art and a means of self-defense. Over time, people began to exercise it to improve their health and well-being. Practicers move their bodies slowly, gently and with thought while breathing deeply, so it is sometimes referred to as“moving meditation”. Chinese commonly practice Taijiquan in nearby parks in early morning.
