Reflexology seems like it might mean the study of reflexes, and that definition would fit Real Taiji. We do, afterall, study the reflex system; we ease into the reptile brain using Qigong, push hands to develop reflexive responses to attacks, and explore applications to see dim-mak striking methods.

Reflexology refers to massaging and pressing tender points on the hands, feet, and ears. This zone therapy envisions that hands, feet, and ears reflect the body, internally and externally. Reflexologists believe that pressing on tender points in the feet or hands or ears heals a tender heart or relieves a trouble liver.
