Tai Chi Chuan literally means "supreme ultimate fist." Since that may still not be clear, the "Tai Chi" portion represents the principle that meaningfulness and change in the universe arises from beyond the ultimate polarities (or opposites), yin and yang.

These can simply be translated as "passive" and "active." Chuan, or literally "fist", also implies the idea of power or impact, and not necessarily a "fist" as would be used in physical sparring or fighting.

So Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan) is: the study and practice of becoming aware of, and expressing, the power of non-duality that is the source of experience in this world.

Tai Chi Chuan practice following the original principles rooted in Taoism can benefit your presence, and your physical and mental well-being. For those who are interested, study of the true principles of Tai Chi Chuan also contributes significantly to athletic, dance, performance, and martial arts skills. I have decades of experience with sparring and push-hands (a form of standing grappling).

I hope you will join us in this important practice, to explore and understand the power and the harmonious Great Way.

Sincerely,

Master David B. Alexander
