Tai
Chi is the graceful, health-giving art form practiced daily by millions
of Chinese, young and old alike. The form has a slow-motion, dance-like
quality that hides its true combat origins. Through the gradual building
of one's inner energy, known as chi, one discovers how soft truly
does overcome hard and how in combat, an ounce of energy can defeat
a thousand pounds of force. Tai Chi is known as an internal art because
of its emphasis on internal chi power, rather than on external physical
power. Tai Chi is referred to as "the grand ultimate" fighting form.
