'{ounda nf'taiji The reason some say he bad. nothing to do with it is that there is noming 'mitt'en e1Jth,e:r om. his ,grav,e or in his 'writings that actually says II taij~q uan.

Chang had a couple of 'buddies who were also top acupunorurists in China, and. t}I£: three of them set out to lind out 'which points on the human body could cause the most damage when struck in certain. ways. They discovered that s.trikin:g sp e cific. poin rs ffi n .at to ert~iIl, 'wa;y and direc eion would cause the optimum damage, They then discovered that energy 'i)9'wS throughout the hum an body could either De, It rou ched" In the directlon of the q~ for heating or In the ad V,e.IS~ dkeeHon to cause damage. (I say ·jJ'tou.ched,;~ but
