bagpuss Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Can anyone help me I need as much information on tai chi as possible, like who is the founder of tai chi? where did it come from? Please try and give me some web site if you know any. I know what it is in practise and what is taught in tai chi its more about its back ground I need to know thank you.

SaiFightsMS Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 Bagpuss Tai Chi is not just one thing. There are different kinds of tai chi. Some are the slower more graceful looking types that are seen in groups in parks early in the morning. There are also forms that are very athletic. Black Belt magazine did a 2 part article on tai chi a few years back that gave just an introduction to the many faces of tai chi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moobrack Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 I like the look of Tai Chi Chuan, the slow one, the athletic one looks good too, but Which one would you say is the best to practise in spare time at home?

Aikidoka Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 I am taking this info from a book written by the founder of Lee style T'ai Chi Ch'uan, so beware of bias. However: Wu style - the rarest existing style, only one school still practises it in Hong Kong. V. small movements, energy requirements minimal. Yang style - large, rythmic movements, more combat orientated, flows with varying fluctuations of light and heavy techniques. Lee style - also known as Yin and Yang style, perfectly balanced, oldest form of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, most popular. Hope that helps a bit moobrack, but as to which one is easiest to practise at home - no idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moobrack Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Thankyou Aikidoka, it helps me very much, I like the sound on Lee style and Yang Style.

Iron Arahat Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 I thought Chen Style was the oldest. There is also Sun Style Tai Chi and many others...
