Five Element
Story
Often Tai Chi and
other martial arts
have a story to
illustrate the form
and help students
remember the
sequence of
movements.

The 5 Elements
Story goes as
follows

Fire
A volcano erupts
and then causes
a powerful flow of
lava.

Water
When the lava
hits the water it
causes a great
tsunami (wave)
that hits the shore
and then pulls out
the tide causing a
great swell.

Metal
The lava cools
and hardens as
hard as metal.

Wood
A tree grows from
the lava and
takes
nourishment from
the sun
.

Earth
The whole earth
flourishes and
becomes new.
