马氏太极健身法是马礼堂先生根据太极原理的作用创编的。它巧妙地将武术和气功之精华融为一体,它以太极阴阳转化,动静相生,对立统一的原理, 撷取行意拳的心与意、意与气,气与力的内三合,及手与足、肘与膝、肩与胯外三合之技击形式,达到内外兼修,强健身心之功效。

Ma-style taiji exercise is initiated by Mr. Ma Litang basing on the function of Taiji principles. The exercise ingeniously integrates the best part of wushu and Qigong according to the principle of the alteration between taijin Yin and Yang, interaction between action and inaction, and unity of opposites. It draws on the three-inner-harmony of heart, will and force, and the three-external-harmony of hand and foot, elbow and kneel, shoulder and crotch, typical of Xingyi Quan. Hence, this exercise can help you achieve the aim of improving yourself from both inside and outside, and of having a strong body and sound mind.
