  1. Tai Chi is a style of Kung Fu, just like Hung Gar, Northern Shaolin, or Hsing – I. As a fighting style, Tai Chi focuses on yielding to and redirecting an attack with explosive, whip-like power. To develope the subtle skill needed to pull this off in combat, the training emphasizes relaxation and whole-body power. Part of this training is the slow-motion form training that most people are familiar with.
