Tai Chi is a martial art that uses unique principles of movement to generate power for self-defense. If you watch a martial artist practicing karate or taekwondo, their movements are very tense and muscular. They tend to scream a lot. These are called "external" arts. To see someone doing Tai Chi, however, and you will see that someone moving gently, gracefully, with occasional bursts of speed and power. Rarely, if ever, cry. Tai Chi is known as an "internal art".
When an attacker strikes an external martial artist, the hit can be blocked with a very muscular block, drive designed to harm the attacker.
When a master of tai chi is a blow to come, he takes action so that the blow will not find a target. Often, the blow will be deflected by a relaxed movement, making to miss its target and causing the attacker to go out of balance.
It's called "leader in a vacuum" and It's a Beautiful art tai chi. "In the old Kung Fu show television that inspired me to start studying the martial arts back in the seventies, it was said (about a priest Shaolin), "When he got to, you can not feel."
As an artist of tai chi, my objective is to maintain mental and physical balance at all times, even when they attack me. Tao American philosophy that I developed that has as its fundamental principle.
This philosophy is useful in situations of self-defense when you take a hit in a vacuum, but can also be applied at work and at home when you are being attacked emotional, verbal, or even through text messaging electronic insulting.
Most times, when someone says something offensive or rude to you, is a form of control. They want to push buttons and get a reaction. They want to control their behavior.
Try to direct his comments in a vacuum and see what happens. Try to stay "balanced" mentally and physically, and not responding to the bait.
The Internet has led to millions of people who enjoy other anonymous flames. When, I feel The objective of these people, lead them into space. Your emails can disappear into nothingness. No response – his attack is not destiny. This is a great way to maintain mental and physical balance. Eventually, the attacker is frustrated and looking for another person for their wrong messages.
When someone attacks me verbally emotionally or in person, using different techniques depending on circumstances. Sometimes it's best to address them directly and let them know you will not be an objective for them. Other times, leading vacuum works – just do not recognize their attack.
You can probably think of many ways that is attacked, either verbally, emotional, or by email. Show how they could lead the attacker into the void and try that next time. You can only find an excellent way to maintain mental and physical balance, while his opponent is thrown for a loop.
