The universal principle is that taichi producing yin and yang which are the two opposing principles in nature, the former feminine and negative, the latter masculine and positive. In Chinese philosophy, the concept of yin and yang has the wonderful property of unity of opposites, being interdependent, well coordinated and transforming each other. Based on these characteristics, and combining yin and yang, a unique set of exercises was created, so we call it ＂Taichi＂.If you adhere to the requirements of each posture strictly and study assiduously and perseveringly, you can finally reach the

perfect Kungfu state ------ ballencing yin and yang, that is to say, 50% yin and 50% yang, unifiing the figure and internal energy just like the Taichi pattern ------- an integral whole.
