Isn taiji that stuff seniors do in the park?
Yes and no. While it’s true that taiji has become popular in the United States primarily for its health benefits, the fact is that taijiquan was originally created as a martial art. That is to say that it was intended for use on the battlefield. Although you may see the senior citizens in the park using weapons occasionally, very few people continue to teach and practice taijiquan as a method of combat. Ming Ji Shu is one of the few schools that will teach students to use taiji in its original martial capacity.
