Exploring Tai Chi -- Author Details History, True Purpose Behind Popular Form of Exercise

Press release.

In recent years, the ancient Chinese martial arts have seen a revival with a resurgence of concern over good health. Many practice Tai Chi, a breathing exercise, but few realize it is a fighting method, an ancient secret divulged by Peter Jaw in his new book, Tai Ji Quan: Theory, Practice & Fighting Methods (now available through AuthorHouse).

Known as a widely practiced form of breathing that is known to help arthritis, Tai Ji Quan or Tai Chi was actually created as new method of combat. Developed by Chen Wang Ting, a Chinese general from the 1600s, the method was brought to Beijing by Yang Lu Chan, who remained an undefeated warrior. His success made Tai Ji Quan widely popular.
