The Art of Tai Chi Chuan

What is a human?

A human is a bipedal primate belonging to the species Homo sapiens in Hominidae, the great ape family....

Am I a human?

Yes I am...

How complicated can a human be?

Well, as far as I know, the limit goes beyond to an unimaginable level.

I have stepped into a world of uncertainties thanks to a few individuals claiming themselves having good “human” skills. No doubt, they are pretty good actually.
Good in the art of “Tai Chi”. Now, what is “Tai Chi”?

I went to Wikipedia, stamped in “Tai Chi Chuan” and I found this:
Tai chi chuan (literal translation "Supreme Ultimate Fist") is an internal Chinese martial art often practiced for health reasons. It is also typically practiced for a variety of other personal reasons: its hard and soft martial art technique, demonstration competitions, and longevity. Consequently, a multitude of training forms exist, both traditional and modern, which correspond to those aims. Some of tai chi chuan's training forms are well known to Westerners as the slow motion routines that groups of people practice together every morning in parks around the world, particularly in China.”

Now, I tried to look at those key words in bold, mumbled to myself a while and found something quite interesting. Combined those sentences together and…..let’s see, “Some individuals are good in the art of Tai Chi. It is typically practiced for a variety of other personal reasons: longevity,
where these people practice together".

It is so true. “These people practice Tai Chi TOGETHER to keep them happy, safe and protected for a longer survival ship

As for me, I do not practice any Tai Chi. I am more like an opposing force of Tai Chi.

Now read this (from the same source, Wikipedia):
Martial art: The ability to use tai chi as a form of self-defense
in combat is the test of a student's understanding of the art. Martially, Tai chi chuan is the study of appropriate change in response to outside forces; the study of yielding and "sticking" to an incoming attack rather than attempting to meet it with opposing force. The use of tai chi as a martial art is quite challenging and requires a great deal of training.

Note that, this skill requires a "great deal of practicing". So, I am not up to this. The only thing I am capable of is being the opposing force for them to train on. Now, get this right, if one day, just one fine day when I get my chance to learn this “skills”, we put this in to the “battleground”. Eat sh*t you son of bit*hes.....
