Myth 1 - Tai Chi is originated from Chen or Cheung

Tai Chi was created by Yang Lou Zen. Yang transformed the Chen' family routine some 150 years ago due to business nature.

The said relating to Cheung San Feng, a Taotist, of 1000 years ago is a non-sense. In an article on Tao, Cheung clearly mentioned that the practices of massage, exercise, breathing, qi gong, pressure points, were NOT real TAO kung fu.

Myth 2 - Tai Chi does breathe normally or evenly

'To breathe normally, or evenly', is a NON-SENSE.

If it is normally, and naturally, we do not have to learn.

If it is evenly, the movements restrict us from breathing normally.

What training is for? It is for doing something different to our daily basic pattern, and thus creating stimulant effects as the result.

Breathing is important for practicing Tai Chi.

Ziboce says, the safest way is, to Breathe naturally AS REQUIRED in the first place. There are many ways to practice for particular results.

Myth 3 - Tai Chi moves slowly

The essence of Tai Chi is 'MATCH', or "BALANCE".

So, Tai Chi cannot be slow. But also, cannot be fast.

When we do push hands, one of the keys is to synchronize both speeds.

We do not learn 'SLOW' for the sake of learn.

Myth 4 - Tai Chi is a sort of moving meditation

That depends on how meditation is interpreted.

Taking a rest, moving slowly, relaxation, soft, gentle, quiet, emptiness, reducing tension, etc., do NOT relate in any sense to meditation.

In Ziboce's understanding, Tai Chi is an exercise by itself. The principle is NON-STOP, with movements in the tracks of curves. One of the characteristics of Tai Chi is RESPONSE.

Meditation and Zen are different. Meditation refers to absolute stillness, while Zen relates to comparative DIFFERENCES.

We shall never go into a meditation state, while we are doing exercises. 

Myth 5- Tai Chi is soft 

SOFT does not refer to weak, loose, floppy, or powerless.

Ziboce says that 'Soft' is the way how interaction takes place.

For example, soft landing of aircrafts. Aircrafts are not soft in the structure, or framework. But the way how aircrafts touch the ground.

Ziboce Tai Chi works on RESPONSE, disregarding the conditions and states of the media. 

Myth 6- Fa Jing  reflects Tai Chi skill levels

Ziboce classifies purposes of Tai Chi into three categories, i.e., healing, interest, and interaction.

Fa jing is irrelevant to Healing.

Fa jing for interest deals with self-expression. Ziboce renames self-expression exercise as 'Tai Chi Zen Dance'.

Fa jing for interaction involves counteracting and interruption. Ziboce has no interest in this category.
