The Paradox of Wudang Teachings

The Paradox of Wudang Teachings

The interaction of soft and hard gives relevance to the understanding of harmony which is the purpose of Tai Chi Quan.

To be in harmony between Yin and Yang means to practice internal balance on all levels and can also be called the way of nature.

  • To excel in speed, one must be slow.
