ai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese martial art. It is also well known as a mental and physical exercise
as the training involves physical movements, breathing techniques and mind cultivation. It is not only popular
in China, but in all parts of the world. It emphasizes on gentle movements, relaxed yet disciplined.
It consists of the effect of Chi Kung, and training of mind concentration through relaxation.
There are many schools of Tai Chi today and the stories about the root of this art have been controversial.
The five main streams include the Chen, the Yang, the Wu(武), the Wu (吳) and the Sun styles.
Because the movements are relatively easy for the general public,
it's likely that more people are familiar with the Yang style.
The Yang style has branched out into various schools of teaching with different routines.
Nevertheless, all of the routines consist of the same basic movements,
whether it is the 85 forms, the 88 forms, the 103 forms, the 108 forms or 129 forms.
The most practiced "Simplified 24 form Tai Chi Chuan, though not from the Yang masters,
was developed based on the Yang style movements.
