• An well-known artist from Taiwan talks about Taichi (Tai Ji). Taiji is a strand of traditional metaphysics, through which ancient Chinese attempted to explain the world's origins and the process of life.

"My teacher suggested that I practice Taiji, because I was too thin and not in good health. After I got into Taiji, it becomes a part of my life. My mind became occupied with it, no matter what I was doing at a certain time. Later, I gradually came to understand its theory of movement and stillness. Taiji is not like other Kung Fu, which stresses outer strength and power. It's more about the spirit. It simply won't leave my mind and I feel this constant urge to put it into shape using my chisel."
