Chinese Fighting: San Shou and Lei Tai Full Contact
Chinese San Shou and Lei Tai Fighting have been around for hundreds of years as
proving ground of fighting skills between various schools in the Chinese Gong fu
Martial Arts Community.
Tai Chi Chuan (pinyin- Taijiquan) translates as Grand Ultimate Boxing. Grand Ultimate is the power of the universe, its duality, and polarity of the 'Yin' and 'Yang' forces described by the Taoist Sages. There are still Neijia (Internal) schools (Tai Chi Chuan, Pa-kua Chang, Hsing-yi Chuan, Yi Chuan, etc.) existing that carry on the tradition of using internal Gong Fu as a full contact fighting martial art. Even though its spiritual and health benefits will always outlast the combative and sport aspects in the long run, it is important to not let the true meaning of the art be lost. Neijia's were first famous as martial arts and the integrity of being a martial arts should be honored and preserved for future generations.

give this energy definition, the ancient Taoist Shamans' and Sages'
distinguished it as having two powerful forces called "Yin and Yang".
