A Grand Ultimate Energy .Tai can be translated as Grand Ultimate. So, Tai Chi translatesas Grand Ultimate Energy. The full name of this Internal ChiKung based martial art in Chinese is Tai Chi Chuan. Chuantranslates as fist. Hence the real translated name of the styleis Grand Ultimate Energy Fist. Yang style is the most popular style taught in the world today. Most of the time inthe West the art is taught as without the Chuan. Also,more often than not the moves and choreography that make up thebasics of the system are taught in a tranquil and slow movingpattern of 24, 48, 88 or 108 moves.

In this text and in all of our programs we areinterested in the Chi aspect of the Tai Chi and submit that themoves without the Activation and Cultivation of the Chi aresimply choreography and are like a pretty car without any fuelor spark and hence although the car can be pushed around it isat an expense of energy as opposed to building energy.

It is our purpose in this textto illustrate how to activate, build and circulate the energyfor health and vitality.

Tai Chi is still being academically researched and studied inthe West and has already been proven to help and provide relieffor a broad range of health problems including but not limitedto arthritis, hypertension, high blood pressure, migraines,Muscular Sclerosis, balance and immune system deficiencies.
