 * Keep This article contributes to an understanding of the current development in the field of Taichi Chuan. The subject of Rushi Taichi Chuan is notable due to the following reasons:
 * 1) It emphasizes the importance of the “thirteen grand postures” in the learning of Taichi Chuan as stated in Wang Zhong-yue’s classic “Treatise of Taichi Chuan”. Although Wang’s “Treatise of Taichi Chuan” is widely known in the Taichi circle and his words are frequently quoted, but the importance of “thirteen grand postures” is not always acknowledged. Where this is noted, it is often misinterpreted or not duly followed in practiced.
 * 2) By highlighting the word “grand” in “thirteen grand postures”, it helps to clarify some popular misunderstandings of Taichi Chuan, and provides useful insights to fundamental questions such as what Taichi Chuan is all about and how Taichi Chuan should be taught. Simply said, according to Rushi Taichi Chuan, Taichi Chuan is equivalent to the “thirteen grand postures”, which are expressions of a spherical movement, and as such, must not be treated as 13 isolated movements. Nor should it be taught like 13 individual movements as often do in popular Taichi classes.
 * 3) It urges beginners of Taichi to start from the core of Taichi Chuan, i.e. train on the “thirteen grand postures” --- a skill that is fundamental to all forms and all schools of Taichi Chuan.
 * 4) It emphasizes that the power of Taichi is something everyone is born with. It is part of your nature. You just grow up to forget about your own capability. The purpose of Taichi training is therefore to rediscover your own potential.
 * 5) Rushi Taichi offers three practical methods (3 form sets) to find your way to Taichi: (1) by practicing the thirteen grand postures (the spherical form); (2) by practicing the water form; and (3) by practicing the void form.
 * 6) Rushi Taichi has attracted a large crowd of followers since its inception in 2010. It has been gaining ground rapidly even among professional Taichi practitioners and instructors. An independent learners’ association known as Rushi Taiji Learners’ Group was formed in Hong Kong in January 2011.
 * Even if all of what you wrote is true, that has no bearing on whether or not something is notable for Wikipedia. You might find it helpful to look at the guidelines for verifiability (WP:V) and notability (WP:N).  To be notable for Wikipedia, the article needs to have significant coverage by reliable sources that have no connections to the article's subject. Papaursa (talk) 21:34, 4 February 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete I found no reliable sources that show this brand new style is notable. All of the above reasons to keep amount to WP:ILIKEIT. 131.118.229.17 (talk) 16:07, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
