What are the different styles of tai chi taught today? In Canada, I see alot of Taoist Tai Chi, how does it differ from other forms? I've learned 3 movements and have to admitt, it's one of the hardest workouts to perform. It's not physically difficult, but mentally difficult. I find it hard to slow down, the balance required really helps to give the helps and legs some work.

Does anyone on this forum study Tai Chi? Which style?

Peace

I am studying Yang, Cheng Fu as taught by the World Taiji Boxing Association (WTBA).

Within my system, I also teach Qigong, and Taiji Boxing, and I am researching TCM methods as well.

Good luck on your training.

Sorry, I should have mentioned the style of tai chi up here in Canada that calls itself 'Taoist Tai Chi.' It's a style on it's own created by a Taoist monk named Moy Lin-shin. Here's a link: http://www.taoist.org/english/about_us.php

I have been studying Yang Style Tai Chi for 2 years now. I hope to start Chen Style this summer. I love it. My grandmaster teaches Tai Chi as a martial art, not just an art with amazing health benefits.
