What is Tai Chi?

From the Wikipedia article.

Taiji 太極 (literally "great ridgepole") is a Chinese cosmological term for the "Supreme Ultimate" state of undifferentiated absolute and infinite potentiality, contrasted with the Wuji 無極 "Without Ultimate". Taiji is best known in the West from the name Taijiquan (or T'ai chi ch'uan) 太極拳 "Supreme Ultimate Shadowboxing".

This year the 4 Day Intensive was great! Ashe and I met new students and reconnected with old. Training was great and we got to visit the Monestery where sifu first shared his familiy art.

On Chinese New Year I completed the Discipleship ceremony and am now a formally adopted member of the I Liq Chuan Family.
