Where did Taoist Tai Chi Come From?
Taoist Tai Chi was created by a Taoist monk, Moy Lin-shin, who, in 1970 immigrated to Toronto, Canada. He based his system upon the Yang family long form of Tai Chi Chuan. Movements were supplemented by Lok Hup Ba Fa, another internal martial art.
Since its inception, it has grown and there are now hundreds of centers world-wide. Despite the use of the word "Tai Chi" in Moy's version, it is not, in fact, genuine Taijiquan. (Note: In this article, Tai Chi Chuan and taijiquan are used interchangeably.)
How Taoist Tai Chi Varies from Traditional Tai Chi Chuan
- Taiji or Tai Chi means "Grand Ultimate" and is a reference to the "essence of existence", is a term founded in ancient Chinese culture and thought; it is not exclusive to Taoism.
- The "chuan" or "quan" portion of Tai Chi Chuan or Taijiquan means "fist" or "boxing". Essential to Taijiquan is the concept of "yi" or intention, which is the ability to focus the mind upon a martial, fighting outcome. This aspect has been removed in Daoist Tai Chi.
