Abstract

Le tai chi chuan (ou Taijiquan) est un art martial qui trouve ses fondements dans la philosophie chinoise et, en particulier, dans les notions de taiji, de dao, de yin et de yang. Réduire le Taijiquan à une pratique gymnique douce tout comme tenter de le rapprocher d'un sport de combat ne permet pas de rendre compte de la richesse de cette discipline. En revanche, se pencher sur l'histoire du Taijiquan, en comprendre les caractéristiques propres, les notions sur lesquelles il se construit, la manière dont il s'enseigne, ouvre la voie à une autre approche. Spirituelle et concrète, cette pratique devient alors un art de vivre autant qu'un art martial, art dans lequel de l'extrême lenteur naît une puissante énergie tournée vers l'intérieur.
