In Taoist philosophy there exists the principles of Yin and Yang - the two perfectly balanced forces which represent manifest reality, or Tai Chi. Yang is the principle of motion, and Yin the principle of quiescence.

These two are most commonly portrayed diagrammatically using the Yin/Yang symbol.

They exist within a circle known as Wu Chi - the empty void which encompasses all.

When quiescence reaches its limit Yang results - when motion reaches its limit Yin results. This is an expression of a constant wave - the endless cycle of 'reality'.

From this cycle of manifest reality come the Five Elemental Forces, which are five levels or types of energy.

As Patrick writes "Taiji is a balanced form of Chi Kung"

All our classes are based on Patricks Teaching of putting Taoist principles into practice. All other definitions or titles are arbitrary.
