Tai Chi Quotes

“By embracing the principles of wu wei, we tap into a deeper wisdom that guides us toward harmonious solutions. We learn to trust the natural layout of the situation and find peace in the now, regardless of the challenges we face. If you want to have a bit of lighthearted fun with this oftentimes new-agey concept, and avoid taking it too seriously in its own rather playful spirit, imagine your ‘woo’ simply getting out of your ‘way.”

“Wu wei is about aligning ourselves with the natural flow of life, letting go of control, and allowing things to unfold organically. To the extent that we’re usually our own worst enemy, wu wei is definitely about getting out of our own way.”

“Sonnet of Martial Arts The secret to Martial Arts, Is not style but training. Pick any form that appeals to you, And train regularly without failing. Practice a hundred moves five times, It is of no use whatsoever. But practice one move every day, And it'll be your lifetime protector. But before all that ask yourself, Why do you wanna be a martial artist? Is it to nourish an able mind and body, Or to be yet another fitness narcissist? Trash all your arrogance before training. A martial artist is to be gentle and caring.”

“Wu wei teaches that genuine strength lies not in forcing our way through life like the proverbial bull in the china shop, but in moving with the current, adapting to changing circumstances, and finding peace even when surrounded by swirling eddies of chaos. As such it’s a powerful reminder that sometimes the most effective action is … none at all.”

“Tai Chi este o gimnastică foarte lentă, efectuată ca și cum ați înota prin apă sau, în cazul Tai Chi-ului, prin aer. Acest lucru aduce numeroase beneficii. Nu puteți să vă accidentați practicând Tai Chi corect, pentru că lentoarea vă permite să auziți semnalele de durere ale corpului și să opriți orice mișcare care vă deranjează. Nu faceți altceva decât să ajustați mișcările Tai Chi pentru a corespunde propriilor dumneavoastră limite de mobilitate.”

“Initially I was very drawn to the Tao Te Ching, the Taoist philosophy. It was helping me deal with the balance of these external and internal issues with my chess life. Tai chi is the martial embodiment of Taoist philosophy. Initially, I had no intention of competing in the martial arts; it was just the meditation.”
