English Kids Love Taiji

Taiji was used to protect a person from attacking in ancient time. Nowadays it is more like one of sports exercises to keep us fit. At Ford Primary School we taught students to play Taiji. The Taiji beginners worked very hard in learning.

There are different types of Taiji for the difference of styles, such as Yang style, Chen style, Sun style and so on. According to variety of actions there are eight poses, sixteen poses , 24 poses, forty-two poses and so on. Taiji activity try to make people balance between Yin and Yang. When people play Taiji they must keep peaceful in mind , being in harmony with nature.

When the kids started to learn how to ply Taiji, they couldn’t do it well. At the beginning we taught them to practice basic gestures and gradually they could do some simple actions. Practice makes perfect. I believe they will do better and better.
