Profound - In Depth - Taijiquan Theory. In the last seven centuries, many songs and poems have been composed about Taijiquan. These have played a major role in preserving the knowledge and wisdom of the masters, although in many cases, the identity of the authors and the dates of origin have been lost. What is Taijiquan? It is a martial Qigong study. Its training procedures are not different from those of other general Qigong (practice) and must follow the (same training) theory. These training procedures are nothing else but: regulating the body, regulating the breathing, regulating the mind, regulating the Qì, and regulating the spirit—five regulatings. Taijiquan was created in Daoist monasteries and is a Qigong practice for enlightenment cultivation. The only difference is that this Qigong practice can also be applied in martial arts. Since Taijiquan is a Qigong, its training procedures and principles are no different from those of general Qigong practice.

Survival means diff erent things to diff erent people in diff erent situations. Throughout its existence, which spans 121 years and counting, Popular Mechanics has regularly published stories about all kinds of survival: in the woods alone; stuck in a mountain crag with no water; marooned on an iceberg as polar bears approach; trapped in a car by a fallen tree. Survival can mean simple self-suffi ciency—living off the land, relying on only oneself for food, shelter, and water. It can mean digging a bunker in the backyard and stocking it with candles and Spam. Or it can be that friend who locks himself in his own bathroom in his apartment with no phone. After 20 minutes stuck in there, he dismantles the entire door knob and lock using only a nail clipper. Survival. For this guide, we’ve compiled our very best survival tactics, secrets, stories, fi rsthand advice, and gear recommendations in one place.
