Other Taoist Arts
Aside from work and improvements in the physical body, there is a spiritual aspect to the Taoist internal arts which is referred to as taming the heart. According to the Taoist perspective, physical health cannot be separated from one's attitudes and emotions.

The following is an overview of the rich heritage of Taoist arts (other than Taoist Tai Chi) :

Lok Hup Ba Fa (Six Harmonies and Eight Methods of Mind and Intention)
Lok Hup Ba Fa is one of the great Taoist internal arts.
Taoist Meditation
While Taoist Tai Chi focuses on 'stillness in movement', the emphasis of Taoist meditation is 'movement in stillness'. Meditation helps the practitioner to still the mind by letting go of thoughts and attachments that cause stress and anxiety.
Push-Hands
This is a two-person exercise that develops strength, sensitivity, speed, and spontaneity of response. Training in Push-Hands develops strength in the spine and the lower part of the body. Push-Hands also cultivates sensitivity and spontaneous reaction as a student learns to deflect and dissipate the momentum of an incoming force.
Moreover, Push-Hands can be used to open tight joints, condition muscle and tendon, and facilitate changes in the skeletal structure for the unhindered circulation of internal energy.

Push-Hands is first and foremost taught as a technique for cultivating mind and body and never as an aggressive sport. We believe that the development of a peaceful attitude and a non-egotistical mind is the best form of self-defence. It takes the student's mind away from aggressive tendencies and develops a calm and effective response to adverse conditions.

Taoist Tai Chi Sword and Sabre
The weapon becomes an extension of the spine, and wielding it by connecting the arm to the spine facilitates the development of spinal flexibility. These sets also provide ideal conditions for introducing movements of the spine that might take a longer time to develop.
