Tai chi quan, Taijiquan is a complex system, which has a definition of "supreme ultimate fist" "Great boundless fist" - this ultimate fist was introduced by the legendary Zhang ShanFeng in the early 12th century and passed on lineage after lineage and created what is today known as Taiji, Tai chi. Tai chi is practiced as a dance and exercise by many around the world, but it is much more than merely excercise movements. Tai chi is meditation within the form of movement, a perfect balance of Ying and Yang, solid and soft, dense and transparent, drawing ultimate energy from the universe.
Tai Chi is a martial art, entirely combatative, although many practices it in slow rhytmic movements, just like ba qua, neiji, xing yi and others, it can be performed with speed and power, just like all chinese martial arts, internal energy is an utmost important, essential essence and tai chi is an internal art which is used to develop and strengthen qi.
