Niall O'Hare taiji 全球道

Study and regular training in the Daoist discipline of Taijiquan. For the relaxation, concentration & harmonious development of mind, body and internal strength.

Taiji (Taijiquan / T'ai Chi Ch'uan) is an ancient internal martial art that is in essence the practice of Daoist principles in daily life. It leads the practitioner to an inner and outer knowledge of themselves, expressing the highest ideals as written in the ‘Tao Te Ching’ some 2500 years ago and the ‘I Ching’ (Book of changes) prior to that.

Here we teach with the main purpose of internal refinement.
This incorporates the balanced learning and development on all three levels (Earth, Man and Heaven) of Human existence, referred to in Daoist nonclemature as:

下丹田 The Lower Dantian
(The Bodily/Etheric sphere)

中丹田 The Middle Dantian)
(The Emotional/Astral sphere)

上丹田 The Upper Dantian)
(The Mental sphere - with its Spiritual component).

These three levels together can be considered the tri-aspect 'Deep Mind'. 心

The Quest Within

The principle of Taiji (ie. Yin and Yang), translated as 'The Supreme Ultimate' can be understood as the 'Highest possible conceivable existence'.
Aligning with this universal principle presents man with an ancient and long-standing method of inner development; Daoist cultivation.

Thsi path (sometimes called Gongfu) traditionally endeavours to offer through the evolution of progressively deeper inner changes, a substantial understanding of oneself, the forces underlying one's being and simultaneously that of the Universe itself (Microcosmos & Macrocosmos).

Taiji is the ideal; The Supreme Principle.
Taijiquan, the internal martial & moving art is the study and practice of this ideal in our daily lives;

The science of Mind (Hsin), energy (Qi) and body (Jing).
