Tai+chi+chuan

Tai chi chuan (Traditional Chinese; Simplified Chinese; Hanyu Pinyin: tàijíquán; Wade-Giles: t'ai chi ch'üan) is an internal Chinese martial art often practiced with the aim of promoting health and longevity. Tai chi chuan's training forms are well known as the slow motion routines that groups of people practice together every morning in parks around the world, particularly in China. Some medical studies support its effectiveness as an alternative exercise and a form of martial arts therapy. Tai chi chuan is considered a //soft// style martial art - an art applied with internal power - to distinguish its theory and application from that of the //hard// martial art styles. There are many different styles of tai chi chuan, but most modern schools can trace their development to the system originally taught by the Chen family to the Yang family starting in 1820.
