It means supreme ultimate fistor supreme ultimate boxing. Tai Chi is a great health art, also a great martialart. The two can never be separated. You cannot separate the Yin from the Yang.If you try to do Tai Chi just as an exercise or health dance then you lose agreat deal of the health benefits. Doing Tai Chi as self-defence only, you losesome of the self-defence benefits for not adding the healing parts of Tai Chi.There’s a bunch of different postures, about 300 linking movements to form onelong flowing set of movements. At a healing level it works on the 12 main and 8extra acupuncture meridians in the body. It’s a flow of life giving force (Chi).It’s like electricity, it bathes our internal organs in life giving Chi, it’sthe stuff that feeds our cells and holds our cells together. When we die theelectricity stops flowing. The cells break up and disintegrate. Every move youmake in Tai Chi activates Chi (energy) in one of the different organs via thedifferent meridians. Energy comes from the Tantien (Ming Men CV5) 3 inches belowthe navel, a storage place for chi (energy). You need energy to simply lift yourarms or hands. The Chinese worked out a bunch of movements that activate themeridians just as they would be activated in a 24 hour period, each organ beingactivated at a set time of day e.g. heart activates at 11am & 1pm, smallintestines at 1pm & 3pm. When you are doing Tai Chi the movements emulate theactivation of the chi through the meridians in a 24-hour period. When you aredoing Tai Chi you activate these meridians 3 extra times in a 24-hour period.Tai Chi is broken up into thirds.1. First third – Complete activation of Chi through the 12 acupuncture meridiansexactly as it would happen through a normal day (1 rotation through all the meridians).2. Second third – Activation happens again.3. Final third – Activation happens again. You receive 3 extra rotations of activeenergy through the meridians.
