Theta Healers – How to do Theta Healing

Tai Chi Quan as self defense?

I understand that most people use Tai Chi Quan more as a form of meditation, but can it be used as self-defense? Would it be able to counter both strikes and grapples?
I understand that most people use Tai Chi Quan more as a form of meditation, but can it be used as self-defense? Would it be able to counter both strikes and grapples? Can it do all this and still provide it’s internal benefits?

Yes. It can be used for all these purposes and more. The majority of practitioners, especially here in the US only do the forms and maybe dabble in the push hands. There is nothing wrong in this, but the concensus has become that it is only meditation in motion. They have forgotten that the form is meditative because meditation dramatically improves the abilities of a warrior. This art was created by battle hardened warriors during the end of the Ming Dynasty. So since the experience of its founders involved fighting for your life in the middle of chaos where the enemy was trying desperately to end yours, I would say that definitely, yes, it can be used for self defense. But it is of absolute necessity that you find a knowledgable instructor with a verifiable lineage. Not all Tai Chi teachers are the same.

I will say however that it isn’t the fastest road to martial mastery, but it certainly is one of the most satisfying.

They created the Life Force Breathing mediation which is designed to mentally touch and energize every cell of the body. The mediation begins by liberating the body of energy obstructions that cause stagnation in the tissues and pores. The body is then reconstructed energetically thereby cleansing and rejuvenating the viscera circulatory digestive respiratory nervous muscular and reproductive systems of the body.
