    1.Created by Grand Master Chen Xiao Wang
     

    Tai Chi is a philosophy that is born from the rich history and heritage of China.It encompasses wisdom from nature and it is a model of the world for the Chinese people.The basic concept is that the universe began from“nothingness”,or Wuji.From Wuji,Yin Yang was created.Yin Yang is often represented by black(Yin)and white(Yang),and it represents positive and negative.From Yin and Yang,everything was born.Therefore,the universe is essentially just different combinations of Yin and Yang.Wufu 9 Tai Chi was created by Grand Master Chen,the current Grand Master of Tai Chi.It includes only 9 movements,so it is easy to learn for everyone.

    The Right Degree
     

    Wufu incorporates Tai Chi in all aspects,and this could be seem through the ancient idea of the“right degree”.According to“Yi Ching”,the book of change,the numbers 9 and 5 are the supreme numbers in the universe.Together,they form the ultimate combination to achieve the“right degree”.
     

    Black and White of Tai Chi
     

    The pictorial symbol of Tai Chi is the“Yin Yang Diagram”.Black represents Yin,and white represents Yang.They are separate and together at the same time.They are opposing and in harmony at the same time.The Yin Yang Diagram also looks like the digits 6 and 9,so it called the Tai Chi digits.Wufu has been celebrating the 9th of June(6/9)as the international Tai Chi day since 2013,and hope it will become an international holiday in the future.

    The Wisdom
     

    Wufu and Tai Chi are naturally one.Both Wufu and Tai Chi seeks to help people achieve the“five fulfillment”,and integrate wisdom into their lives.Integration of wisdom is an ability,a need,an interest,a value and a state of mind.We emphasis the integration of the Wufu values,integration of the universe,Yin Yang,black and white,past and present,the future,and through this process of integration we use the wisdom of Tai Chi and Wufu to guide us.
