Yang Family Tai Chi Discussion Board

If one is doing Tai Chi and weight lifting at the same time, then, one does not understand Tai Chi nor does it for its purpose.

Who cares where the source came from or who says. Don't you think it is the thought that counts?

The author seems to be much more knowledgeable than I am on these topics (my specialty is in different areas). He provides contact information and lives in California (I do not know if he is anywhere close to you) so you may want to contact him for discussions concerning mitochondria, ATP, oxygen, ...

He is in Santa Barbara, two hours from me.

[Note: the unsupported and un-researched extrapolations and assumptions that CD makes (and that his “house of cards” is built on) are analogous to saying that we know that a car does not run without gas, but we also know that it can run fine when it has normal levels of gas in the tank; then conclu...

Tai Chi has health benefits for all ages. The practice will increase the body's energy level regardless of age. The energy was generated by cell respiration during muscle contraction. The contraction of muscles activates the mitochondria to initiate the production of ATP to release energy. The produ...

Our bodies require energy to carry out all the functions. We can make the body to function at its highest degree by providing the most power producing capability. Since the mitochondria require a continuous supply of oxygen in the electron transport chain cycle, It is because it is a less strenuous ...

Since there is no evidence (that I am aware of) that the mitochondria in healthy Taijiquan practitioners is any different than in healthy non-practitioners, information on the mitochondria probably does not help us. CD’s post seems to be based on the assumption that there is an increased ATP level ...

Hi, Dan The OP called the Saber a single edged sword. I guess the author treated it like a sword. He has all the silky moves of a sword instead of a saber.

FYI Cheng Man-ching learnt Tai Chi from the Yang style. However, he developed his own style which does not resemble the Yang style at all.

It is because the tiger is the most fierce animal in China. Thus people have to defend against the tiger attack often.

There is no shortcut in Tai Chi. The part on self defence comes later in the practice. However, meditation may be taught doing the course of Tai Chi.
