The Taikiken page shares its super dvd for individual Training and Natural Tuning in free Nature. Discover the Grace and Power of Taikiken: Master Kenichi Sawai’s Legacy in Martial Arts
In the serene embrace of nature, where the rustling leaves whisper secrets of ancient martial prowess, a unique discipline unfolds its graceful yet potent form: Taikiken. As a subdiscipline within the vast universe of martial arts, Taikiken stands out not merely for its techniques but for its philosophical depth and the personal journey it offers practitioners. At the heart of this movement is Master Kenichi Sawai, a luminary whose dedication has immortalized Taikiken in both practice and literature.
Master Kenichi Sawai’s commitment to Taikiken transcends mere instruction; it is a celebration of an intrinsic martial heritage. “I am proud to be part of a martial arts tradition as long as that of Ta-ch’eng-ch’üan,” he proclaimed, echoing the sentiments of historical martial masters. Ta-ch’eng-ch’üan, or Taiji Chuan, with roots in the profound traditions of Da Cheng Quan and Yi Quan, provides a philosophical backbone that Taikiken intricately weaves into its fabric.
Sawai’s journey into Taikiken is deeply influenced by the teachings of Wang Hsiang-ch’i, also known as Wang Xiangzhai. A legendary figure in martial arts, Wang emphasized the essence of ki, the life force energy, stating, “No matter, if you hear ki, explained a thousand times, you will never understand it based on explanations alone. It is something that you must master on your own strength.” This philosophy is the cornerstone of Taikiken, where the mastery of ki is not taught but experienced, forging a personal connection between the practitioner and their inner strength.
In 1976, Kenichi Sawai published “Taikiken: The Essence of Kung-fu,” marking a seminal moment in martial arts literature. As the first Taikiken book available in English, it opened the doors for a global audience to explore the depths of this unique martial discipline. The book delves into the essence of Taikiken, emphasizing that there are no fixed forms. Unlike many martial arts that adhere strictly to predetermined sequences, Taikiken encourages individual expression and adaptation. This flexibility ensures that each practitioner can develop movements that are inherently natural and effective for their unique body dynamics.
The training in Taikiken is built upon the pillars of Zen and Hai, fostering an environment where mental clarity and adaptability are paramount. In the dojo, practitioners are not confined to rigid movements; instead, they are encouraged to perfect their Zen, achieving a state of calm and focus that allows for complete freedom of movement when facing an opponent. This philosophy is pivotal because, in real combat, the ability to move freely and adapt instantly is far more valuable than memorizing static forms.

Tai Chi - A Workout That Doesn't Feel Like Exercise
Tai Chi – A Workout That Doesn’t Feel Like Exercise
Are you looking for a workout that doesn’t take a lot of time or equipment? Is doing your fitness routine at home important to you? Does it have to be easy to learn? Do you want to get in shape, but don’t want to break a sweat? Yeah, me, too. I’ve got the answer – Tai Chi. Hell, you can even do it sitting down. Yup, whether you spell it Tai Chi or Taiji, that’s the workout for me! I’ve…

135° Right side: Sun, Jian-Yun (daughter of Sun, Lu-Tan [founder of Sun Style Tai Chi]) talking about having the leg angle at 135° while practicing Sun Style taijiquan. Left side: 'Discobolus' statue by Myron. I've overlaid the graphics, with the degree angle calculated by Photoshop. You can see the measurement output in the top left corner: 135° The RED line I've added shows the 'structural line' of power, and not the alignment of the tibia and fibula. Assuming the root/power is centered in the middle of the foot, where the red line ends.

The Eight Principles of Tai Jitsu
1. Centeredity (jung): consciousness and energy of the body are in harmony, the center of gravity is always at the lumbar level.
2. Persistence (Zheng): the body is always in balance, the center of gravity does not deviate from the central line.
3. Peace (an): movements are made effortlessly, smoothly and evenly, breathing is even.
4. Fluidity (shu): the involvement of the whole body and spirit in the hidden musical rhythm of stretching and compression, revealing and closing.
5. Lightness (zin): a state of own weightlessness, as if effortless steaming in the air ("as if you are going underwater").
6. Spirituality (lin): a special kind of enlightened sensitivity implying the ability to follow the flow of life impeccably.
7. Completeness, or completeness (man): completeness, the inner self-sufficiency of every movement, of every moment of practice.
8. Vitality (Oto): vitality as the highest, summing up quality of movements derived from all other elements of Taijizuan. "Live" movement is equally effective in all situations and all forms of force.

//The more I think about it, the more I am actually stepping away from real life Chinese martial arts except to understand their disciplines, stances, and have a general appreciation of their cultural importance. But when it comes to actual narrative application and art, I actually hope to apply mythological/theater wushu as opposed to real life taijichuan as initially intended.
The reason is, besides the fact that Ruixiong never took up formal training in any kung fu discipline, is that Devil's Eye takes on the mythological elements of religious/philosophical faith as its narrative themes, even if we don't go the "all myths/religions are true" route with it. So when it comes to Ruixiong and his application of "Pride Goeth Before the Fall" (his levitation powers), is MUST resemble what you'd probably see in a fantasy wuxia film with cables and extravagant theatrics. Because THAT is how Ruixiong pictures and internalizes his powers. It would be the same way how Phoebus internalizes "Breath of Life" by channeling his focus onto inscribing Hebrew onto his golems, or how Frascona utilizes "Touch Me Not" as though he is an incorporeal Angel of Death.
So if I ever get an Anon or some other DM stating "THAT IS NOT HOW CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS WORK", I swear to Christ, you're going to be swung the biggest "NO SHIT, SHERLOCK" hammer I can muster.
