Today many people train Taiji. It's spreading Chinese culture and that's very good. But most people who train in Taiji love to dig into theory and not on training the body. Their Ying-Tang, 5 elements theory has nothing to do with combat. Some Taiji people transformed Taiji into Taiji exercise. It's good for health and help human being and that's very good too but it still has nothing to do with combat. As far as the true Taiji masters who can use Taiji in combat, I haven't met anyone yet in my life time so far.
The reason that Taiji is in our current stage because the lacking of step by step prorgress. When people love to use Ying Yang, and 5 elements those fancy words to fool others, and also love to hypnotize themselves, soon or later, they fall into the 魔道 evil Dao. not only you can't wake them up, they will bite you back if you try to help them,
Taiji's Huai Jin, Faijin, sticky, follow, yield, lead into the emptiness are all university level (high level) skills. It's not that easy to obtain. Today most of the Taiji people who didn't have high school and elementary school basic training and try to jump right into university level training. I just don't see how that could be possible?
I don't expect everybody will agree with Adam's point of view but If Taiji is the university level training then what's the grade school, high school training that should come before Taiji?
Adam did give high opinion for Taiji (university level training). He just don't agree with how people train Taiji.
It's so funny that What Miro called it 大道 Dai Dao, Adam called it 魔道 evil Dao.

So how is a new person to taiji supposed to benefit from the discussion board. So I will ask now: in your opinion what are the absolute basic essential training methods of taiji that must be learned in order to be able to achieve university level?
