Abstract

I wanted to understand taijiquan as a martial art. I was, therefore, first amused and then interested in the teacher’s demonstration of what certainly looked like holding a ball in some postures before carrying out the obvious strike. Its true martial meaning seemed to me to be quite easy to determine and is discussed in detail below.
