TaiJi Masters in Chinese park

© Bartłomiej Magierowski
TaiJi (read TaiDzi, because this is how 'taici' is called in Chinese) is meditation combined with exercises, the idea is to maintain a balance between 'me and the whole world'. These ladies always train in the morning in the city park. They do not deal with taiji itself, but with its variety. They pretend to fight with swords. Every movement requires precision and perfection, the positioning of the feet, fingers, body balance... all of this plays an important role. Many people, both older and younger, exercise in parks every morning, and they even have special costumes that make it easier for them to move around.
