不过如今人们倾向于认为太极是十七世纪的武学大师陈王廷根据武术技巧演化而来的。由于中国武术中模拟动物的做法由来已久，太极的部分招式以动物来命名也就不足为奇了。陈王廷最初创编的招式称为陈氏太极，后来也发展出了其他门类的太极，包括杨式太极、吴氏太极和孙氏太极。Takenotesquickly！重点词汇tendto倾向于;有助于martialarts武术;bebasedon基于;以……为基础martial武术的;战争的，军事的Nowonder难怪;怪不得;namedafter以…命名long-standingpractice积习imitating模仿;仿效;asetof集合;

学完前几节太极基础课之后，我发现一遍又一遍重复这些招式让我心生厌倦，而且肌肉酸痛。幸运的是，教练教会了我放松肌肉的方法，以及在日常练习时如何注意心境的平和。将太极的这些要求铭记于心，慢慢地，我发现自己的平衡能力和柔韧性得到了改善，我可以尝试一些难度更大的招式，我对太极的热爱又回来了，而且比以前更强烈，这令我十分满意。Takenotesquickly！重点词汇taichi太极overandoveragain一再，屡次;再三地，重复地focuson专注于;关注，聚焦于peaceofmind安心;心境的安宁inmind在心里beableto可以;有能力

一年练习太极的经历已经对我的日常生活产生了积极的作用。晚上我睡得更香，白天则精力更充沛。幸福感倍增，人也更加自信。太
