Abstract

The concept of Taiji (Tai-chi), consisting of Yin and Yang, originates from the ancient Yijng (Iching), the Book of Changes. It is the traditional metaphysical Law of China, and has been described as Dao (Tao) or “The Way.” Two years ago, in December, 2020, Taijiquan (the fighting system of Taiji) was recognized and accepted as an Intangible Heritage of Humanity by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). This study reviews the Taijiquan technique for assisting in life and wellness, and presents a brief review of the effect of Cardio Taiji on blood pressure.
