        　　Taijiquan is one of the internal styles of Chinese martial art. It is based
on the principle of the soft overcoming the hard and originated in ancient China
as a martial art and a means of self-defense. Overtime, people began to exercise
it to improve their health and well-being. Practicers move their bodies slowly,
gently and with thought while breathing deeply, so it is sometimes referred to
as "moving meditation". Chinese commonly practice Taijiquan in nearby parks in
early morning.
