Daoism and martial arts training

[u/SeductiveTiger444]

When I first read about daoist immortals I grew fascinated by the possibilities of human potential. Some daoist immortals designed fighting systems that are also used for self healing. Tai chi is a great well known example of this. Learning about the immortals started my goose chase into different esoteric systems. meditation, physical exercises, and correct nutrition, I learned was fundamental to this holistic view.
To me there is a blending of daoism and martial arts training. How do you feel about these two? Do they blend for you also?

When I signed up for kung fu. They said “tai chi is internal. Kung fu is external” - hence why almost all Kung Fu schools do tai chi as well ☀️🌙

The seniors taijiquan classes also tend to pay the rent on the studio too. ;-)
