I don't know WHAT Taiji you are talking about, but too me it looks like you are not practicing ANY legitimate style of Taijiquan.
And btw, you're kinda confused about the art you 'practice', since the story you told is the one of Boddhidharma teaching the SHAOLIN monks 18 Luohan hands, and not Taijiquan, so it seems you didn't do your homework. You are probably a just New Age (fake) practioner of Taiji

what do you mean its not a fighting form? anyone who seriously practices taiji knows the applications and the power that comes from doing the form. more appropriately it should be called a learning form. teaches stability, power generation, maintaining that power, and never to overextend oneself are all crucial fighting elements.
ps read your other posts. all trash

Well, since these people got fat off of meditating, they came up with Tai Chi right..? Couldn't it have also been created to fend off bandits as well..?

i dont really want to argue, its your opinion about tai chi. i personally have been practising for 9 years and i practise it soley as a fighting art, not for health benefits, and im a pretty good fighter now and pobs will get better. look up erle montague on youtube. he explains things quite well, u might have seen his videos, i dont know. and by the way, know one knows 4 sure how tai chi originated ive read many versions of events from many different books. remember ur view is ONE view.

And just like looking for a needle in a hay stack, it is possible with time and patience... I have that song (I don't read Chinese so don't know the name) but it is on an album called "String Sounds from Heaven" Disk Two I believe.
