Meaning
Inside the meaning of the words, Viet Tai Chi, there is the first, main difference amongst Viet Tai Chi and the other Arts, all coming from the same derivation, as in example Tai Chi Chuan. These two different names were transposed into occidental languages as equal meanings, but they aren't. They derivate from deeply different . In Chinese, Tai Chi is the Supreme Everything (as in Vietnamese it is the Thai Cuc), and Chuan is a martial art fighting term. Vietnamese words, composing the name Viet Tai Chi, have a different meaning:
- Viet: elevate oneself
- Tai: cultivating
- Chi: energy
So Viet Tai Chi means "CULTIVATE ENERGY TO ELEVATE OURSELVES".

“To lose sensibility, to see what one sees,
As if sight had not its own miraculous thrift,
To hear only what one hears, one meaning alone,
As if the paradise of meaning ceased
To be paradise, it is this to be destitute.”
