By .....123 1193512144 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveTai Chi Chuan is actually a very effective martial art, although not generally learned that way - it is more commonly used for health worldwide. To learn traditional Tai Chi the martial art aspect cannot be ignored, it is an intrinsic part of the art.
I have studied a number Karate/Kung Fu styles etc. as well as TC, I can verify from personal experience that it is most definitely a serious martial art - even when being "punched in the face" ;)
A case in point is that TC was taught as the main fighting style of the Manchu imperial guard, I don't believe they would have done so if it didn't work as a martial art.
I'd recommend having a look into it before making judgments on its effectiveness, based on one video clip. Many TC teachers I have studied with are also high level in the more well know martial arts such as Karate - two of my fellow students are 3/4 dan in karate respectively - and can attest to the martial aspects of TC.
Take a look, it has many benefits including self defense - then make your own mind up.
tai chi takes around 10 years to learn practically. and its hardly a slow style. besides those ufc fighters wouldnt even stand a chance against a real fighter. you can bs all you want about the art, but you'll get your ass handed to you for sure if you fought a real fighter..ufc doesnt even begin to hit the brink of real fighting!

definitely an elegant martial art. Good for old and calm people. Probably takes some one really good to use it practically though.
