CHUAN
Tai chi chuanis an internal Chinese martial
art often practiced for health reasons.
Tai chi is typically practiced for a variety
of other personal reasons:
its hard and soft martial art technique,
demonstration competitions,
health and longevity.
Consequently, a multitude of training forms exist,
both traditional and modern, which correspond to
those aims. Some of tai chi chuan's training forms
are well known to Westerners as the slow motion
routines that groups of people practice together
every morning in parks around the world,
particularly in China.
Today, tai chi has spread worldwide. Most modern
styles of tai chi trace their development to at
least one of the five traditional schools:
Chen,
Yang,
Wu/Hao,
Wu,
Sun.
The origins and creation of tai chi are a subject
of much argument and speculation. However, the
oldest documented tradition is that of the Chen
family from the 1820s.
