	Taiji - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Taiji "falls into immanence" first as the Yin and Yang, and then as further levels of differentiation culminating with the myriad creatures, which are represented by the bottom circle.
		The Taiji is understood to be the highest conceivable principle, that from which existence flows.
		In contemporary terms, the Taiji is the infinite, essential, and fundamental principle of evolutionary change that actualizes all potential states of being through the self-organizing integration of complementary existential polarities.

		Taiji is not merely a series of callisthenics, but also a mental discipline, and an art.

		With this in mind I began to briefly research the lifespan of some famous Taiji masters from the Yang, Chen and Wu families and to be honest, the lifespan of the majority was not as great as I expected.

	Playing with 'peng' in Taiji Boxing
		However, as this paper argues, Taiji Boxing is a practice 're-made' within a predominantly Western context, and thus represents as much a remaking or refiguring of Western or 'New Age' Taiji as it does a return to Taiji's original Chinese form.
		For instance, not only are the Taiji Boxers looking to create a new mythology for Taijiquan, in the sense of Taiji as a martial art, but also to manipulate the various practices that constitute Taiji boxing, sometimes in small and sometimes in large ways, and indeed construct new practices.
		Indeed the same meaning for Taiji - Taiji as a 'martial art', or as a 'spiritual or self-healing practice' - may be given different expressive forms (that is, in how people talk of their experiences, as in the peng-drill/nightclub example).
