| The Toronto Practical Method workshop will be back on Aug 29 to Sep 1, 2026. If you have not yet attended one, you will be amazed by the magical taiji skills of Master Chen Zhonghua, and his insightful guidance in your taiji journey. He has the missing piece that many people are looking for. If you have been here before, we are looking forward to training with you again. |

First of all, the original intent of Taijiquan was never as a recreational sport for health. It was a martial art with a rigorous internal focus—one that is distinct from all other systems. This specific art is found only in Chen Village and the branches derived from it.
Taijiquan is about balance. Regardless of the method used, Taijiquan will weigh you like a balance scale. This “weighing” is the specialized method of Chen Style Taijiquan, a method absent in other martial systems. |
| While Taijiquan, Xing Yi Quan, and Bagua Zhang are all considered internal arts, Taijiquan is all-encompassing: it possesses what other styles have, but it also uniquely possesses what they do not.This is the method of weighing an opponent. No matter how heavy you are, I only need to nudge the counterweight one tiny notch on the scale to achieve balance. If you were lucky enough to have touched Grandmaster Hong Junsheng, you would understand this immediately; otherwise, it is not easy to grasp.
The scale is an object, and nudging a counterweight is merely an action. So, where is the “internal” in this? If you put one ton of weight on a scale and I move the counterweight just one unit to balance it—and you do not see that as “internal“—then you will never find the internal in this world. To seek intangibles like Jing (劲), Qi (氣), and Shen (神) without understanding this mechanics is to put the cart before the horse. |
