Is tai chi basically yoga?

[@tipinwings]

asdfgh123456978 Referring to the tradition, Taichi is closer to karate. It’s a martial art school dedicated in balance breaking and conjunction locks. If you are to learn, find a legit coach after you ask and double check his or her martial art lineage. The silly slow moves you see a lot of the elder do is just a super simplified version for the elder as some basic exercise.

Tai Chi is actually really good for balance, a research showed that elderly who practice Tai Chi has much lower rate of falling and getting their bones broken, and back in the days, people fought each other in Tai Chi, I don't know why they slow motioned it down and became an elderly martial art, back then people killed each other with Tai Chi

[@stevemyopinion423]

becosue what you see of tai chi, is like whne you see a kick boxer doing jumping jack, only part of it.

[@curtishonts7802]

I haven't done the research, tho I've heard that Tai Chi while a 'martial art' was never really done full contact... if as a fighting system that is trained with zero contact... it is likely not effective compared to stuff like Sambo/muay tai/Brazilian ju jistu which is practiced with actual contact, not that it doesn't have other useful qualities as mentioned with getting a better sense of balance

[@stevemyopinion423]

Around the world, tai chi is used as a slow-motion exercise for health and meditation, but that's not why it was created. Many martial artists call tai chi a "soft" art, but that's because real tai chi is rare in the United States. Every movement in tai chi is a self-defense technique. The art was created in the 15th Century by Chen Wangting, a retired warrior in Henan Province, China. His family still practices it as a martial art. They say you have to "eat bitter" to develop tai chi skill. Real tai chi training, especially with the Chen family, involves pain. The idea of tai chi is to break your attacker quickly and end the fight. Tai Chi is practiced in slow motion so students can develop the body mechanics and structure to deliver the self-defense techniques powerfully. To the average observer, tai chi appears relaxed and fluid. Underneath, the body structure gives it an iron-like strength.

Yo. I had to wait for this video. Like, I got a notification, and it told me that I had to wait until the next notification to view the video. I got a notification for a notification for a video I was going to watch anyway... Just putting that out there. Also, totally nailed the "Tai Chi is exercise for old people". I probably do something similar when I'm trying to stretch beyond my limited range of motion(which is exactly what they're trying to work against). Lost of outstretched arms transitioning to reaching across the chest, leaning from one leg to the other. And muscles are supposed to be elastic, so just blasting through the motions does no good. You have to have a slow pace to give the muscles time to stretch in each position. Tai Chi is slow stretching.
