10. What is the true spirit of Taiji?

Good and famous masters of Taiji teach the same stuff but students will learn differently. This is because students differ in natural endowment and physical make-up. The real acquisition of the art is not in just mastering the external forms but also in mastering the principles and philosophy. The learner must be a man of reason having learnt, practiced and understood the art successfully. He applies those principles and philosophy to his daily life. He will not take unfair advantage or be selfish. He is wholeheartedly devoted to Taiji. He shares the founder's spirit of striving for mankind to be physically and mentally healthy. This would be the true Taiji spirit.
