THE CIRCLE IS A SIMPLE SYMBOL. IT IS A PRODUCT OF ANCIENT CHINESE KNOWLEDGE AND A SYMBOL OF ANCIENT CHINESE TRADITIONAL CULTURE. THE CIRCLE REPRESENTS THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYTHING THAT MANIFESTS WITHIN, PERMANENTLY. ALL NATURAL PHENOMENA AND HUMANITY'S DEVELOPMENT OPERATE IN AN INFINITE PROCESS OR A CIRCLE. THEREFORE CIRCLES REPRESENT AN IDEA, AN OPERATION, BEAUTY, AND PROTECTION. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY SUCH AS TAI CHI CHUAN IS COMPOSED OF HEALTH, MARTIAL ARTS AND PERFORMING ARTS VALUES. IT IS DONE IN BALANCED, STEADY CIRCULAR MOTION AND INVOLVES THE ENTIRE BODY. THEREFORE, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS THE PRINCIPLE, PRACTICE, OR CONFRONTATIONAL ENGAGEMENT, TAI CHI CHUAN ADHERES TO THE CIRCLE PRINCIPLE.
