| | Playing with 'peng' in Taiji Boxing |
| | Today Taiji is largely taught and practiced as a non-martial art, as a purely meditative and self-healing practice. | | | This relates again to the fact that Taiji is a realm of meaning made with the body, or rather bodies. | | | How the people relate to each other, as embodied individuals - in standing at the bar, drinking, dancing, and in moving through the crowds - is central to the configuration of it as a significant social sphere, as 'fun', 'cool', 'sexy' or as a realm of (sexual) competition. |
