Genesis Taiji is the result of the collaborative effort of Gary and Tess. It was felt that a website would be an ideal way to communicate our interests with others and vice-versa.

Genesis:
Genesis denotes a fresh beginning, with new possibilities and the potential to reach out and share our love for the martial arts, specifically Chen Style Taijiquan

 

Taiji in direct translation means “Grand Ultimate”. It is often misunderstood as energy but, is an ancient Chinese philosophy based on the natural law of harmony and balance. There is the concept to two opposite and yet complimentary forces “Yin” and “Yang” which encompass the universe. These two forces are always in “flux”, however when they are balanced that is the goal of Taiji .

The goal of Genesis Taiji is to share our passion, by promoting a strong and yet flexible foundation in the martial arts. With a supportive environment enabling the student to not only learn the knowledge and wisdom of Taiji principles, but adapt them to daily life. In this manner it is possible to cultivate and regulate the internal flow of energy for balancing mind and body.

At Genesis Taiji we do not consider ourselves to be experts. With the knowledge we have gained over the years we do feel able to contribute to the knowledge of those who have not been exposed to these concepts. However, we also hope to learn from others and that too is a goal of this format of communication.
