	Tai Chi
		Tai Ji Quan as a martial art is based on the principle of the soft overcoming the hard.
		The Tai Ji Quan fighter is trained to absorb and neutralize incoming force, join with the opponent by sticking to his center, and issue force at the appropriate time and angle with the power of the entire body.
		In Tai Ji Quan technique this is rarely achieved by direct contact (a useful example to help understand the concept of sticking to and controlling an opponent's center is the wrestler, who routinely sticks to his opponent's center directly, as when applying the popular bear hug).

	Physical Benefits of Tai Ji Quan
		Tai Ji Quan is an all-sided exercise, which not only builds up one's limbs and trunk through various movements, but also strengthens one's inner organs and central nervous system by wielding slow, deep abdominal breathing and concentrating one's thought.
		In China, Tai Ji Quan has been applied as a supplementary means in many hospitals and sanitariums, wherein some patients are taught the exercise to help them cure their sickness or speed their recovery.
		This is because Tai Ji practice is matched with slow, deep abdominal breathing, which causes the internal organs to be massaged, and promotes the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, thus making digestion and assimilation of food more effective.
