Ji (Tai Chi) means: the supreme ridge, it is a Chinese
thousand-year-old concept of the universe seen in its dynamism.
According to the Chinese design, cosmos rests on a binary system
symbolized by two complementary principles: Yin and Yang. Quan (Chuan)
means: fist, boxes. Tai Ji Quan (Tai chi chuan) thus means: the art of
combat which applies the principles of Tai Ji, i.e.: dynamism,
circularity, alternation and transformation.
 The
invention of Tai Ji Quan goes back to Zhang Sanfeng (12-13th
century), he was a taoist monk of the monastery of the
Wudang Mount, witch it's located in Hubei at the North-West of
China. He would have created this technique after having
observed a fight between a bird and a snake. This lutes at the
conclusion would have noted the superiority of the flexibility
on rigidity ‚ and it would have made him to discover the
importance of the alternation of Yin and Yang and the
effectiveness of the circular motions.
 The
Tui shou or Push-hands is an exercise including two person
where one tries to unbalance the adversary or to expel it
outside a circle.
The applications of Taiji are useful in tuishou.
The large specialists in this discipline are the practitioners
of Tai ji although one practises Push-hands in the schools of
kungfu and others.
