Tai
Chi Chuan is form of moving meditation.
It is
also a form of martial arts.
In martial arts training the practitioner reprograms
the body so that it becomes more efficient in combat situations. To be a
strong fighter, one must first improve their posture and coordination. The
internal energy system and psychological state must also be sound. Tai Chi
Chuan, as passed down from a qualified instructor, is the most profound
method in helping the practitioner to enhance these key factors.
For this reason I have set Tai Chi training as part of
the training programme for the full contact fighters of our school. So far
our full contact fighters have represented Great
Britain to win a gold medal at the
European Championships of 28 member countries plus a bronze and a gold
medal at the Worlds Championships of 120 member countries.
Although taking up full contact competition is not the
goal for most of us, it is still important for the instructor to make sure
they show their students the correct way of practising Tai Chi in order to
obtain the maximum benefit.
Teaching martial arts is a privilege.
Unfortunately, many instructors do not take martial arts teaching as a
personal duty and serious contribution to the society that our children
have to live.
We book our cars in for a regular service to
ensure all alignment and management units are in order for the car to
perform well, and to last.
The benefit of carrying out the repetition of
performing the Tai Chi sequence correctly has a similar outcome. Each time
we enter into empty mind by repeating the sequence, our energy flow is
activated, our system cleansed, our body repairs itself, our alignment is
adjusted, thus we are psychologically enhanced and philosophically
transformed.
We become a more positive, appreciative, compassionate
person.
Experiments have shown that whilst engaging in Tai Chi
our brain produces a tranquil brain wave. Many people in the East keep up
this discipline in order to live longer and look younger.
In our society, many people spend their whole life
working hard, serving the society, and also to accumulate wealth. Sadly by
the time they are about to retire many find themselves too unhealthy to be
able to enjoy properly their retirement time or the wealth they have
accumulated.
The syllabus of Wutan UK
is composed with intention of contributing to our society by helping us to
live a healthier happy contented life. Teaching martial arts has kept me
healthy, that I have only had to visit the G.P. 3 times in the last 40
years.
To ensure that what the students are taught is genuine,
and to receive maximum benefit for their training, I have arranged for
· Master
Wu to conduct seminars yearly in the UK.
· A monthly
intensive training program at HQ for our instructor to polish and advance
their skills continually and understand our syllabus properly.
