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

Good luck on your training.

I've only studied Tai Chi for a little while.I studied the yang style.The styles I'm aware of are Yang,Chen,Wu,How,Sun,Wu Dong..All tai Chi is taoist boxing since its based on taoist principles.

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.
