The Practice of Tai Chi and Ethical Self-CultivationTai Chi is a physical and mental practice rooted in the philosophies of Taoism and Confucianism. It teaches one how to be in harmony with the world at large. Its emphasis is on letting go, as expressedby the ethical virtues of cultivating one's character, teaching patience, humility, and compassion for all things. It is also a practice teaching harmony with nature and an awareness of balance, both physical and mental. As a self-defense practice, it uses both moral restraint and a nonviolent approach to handling stressful situations in our everyday lives.
