THE FLEXIBILITY OF A CHILD, THE STRENGTH OF A LUMBERJACK AND THE CALM OF WISEMAN.

Tihomir Todorov is a student of Grand Master Yang Jun, fifth generation of Yang family, keeper of Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan. Tai Chi Chuan (The fist of the great limit) is one of the many styles in Chinese martial arts Kung – Fu/ Wushu. Tai Chi Chuan wins more and more fans, not only for its effectiveness as a self defensive system, but mostly because of its good healing effects. Tai Chi Chuan is a manifestation of universal Taoist principles. In this context, Tai Chi Chuan is one of the practical ways to achieve harmony within itself, and in the outside world – there is no aggression and pressure. One of the main postulates is that the power of aggression has to be neutralized and turned against the aggressor. As a system Tai Chi Chuan contains learning of forms (sequence of exactly fixed, performed in order movements), exercises with partner, meditative exercises and martial applications – fist hits, elbows, palms, knees, locks on joints, throwing and kicks). The performing of the form has to be done slowly. In this way the practitioners develop better precision and speed.
