You have already said in your book that "If you want to be effective in self-defence you must develop internal force and practise combat applications" (The Complete Book of Tai Chi Chuan, p.64). This seems to mean that Tai Chi Chuan is an absolutely independent martial arts. Could you please explain more?
你门或许都在书里读过这样的话，“如果你想达到技击目的，你就必须练习内劲，并且实践格斗技巧“（太极拳大全，第64页）。这似乎说明了太极拳绝对可以称之为独立的武术门派。你能解释一下这个吗？
Answer 2
Yes, Tai Chi Chuan is an absolutely independent martial art. By itself, absolutely without having to take anything whatsoever from outside -- like taking warm-up exercises from the West, chi kung exercises from other chi kung types, fighting techniques from other martial arts -- Tai Chi Chuan is exceedingly effective for fighting.
答案是肯定的，太极拳绝对可以称之为独立的武术门派。就其本身来说，绝对不是从其他任何一种拳演化来的—像西方热身运动，其他各种气功中的气功练习方法，其他武术中的技击技巧等等—太极拳从格斗角度说是非常有效的。
More than this, Tai Chi Chuan is a comprehensive programme for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual development. It is complete by itself. By practising just Tai Chi Chuan, without having to add anything from outside, one can be radiantly healthy, emotional calm, mentally fresh and may attain the highest spiritual fulfilment. It may sound too good to be true, and it would sound impossible to those who practise only Tai Chi dance, but it is true.
此外，太极拳属于综合性的项目，对身体、情感、思想、精神的发展都有好处。就本身来说，它具有完整性。练习太极拳，没必要在去练其他什么了，因为已经使身体更健康，情绪更平静，精神更饱满，并且可以获得更多的精神满足感。这听起来似乎不像是真的。是的，对于那些只去跳太极舞的人来说，这似乎不是真的。但“遗憾“的是，这件事情确实是真的。
