Derived from the Taiji symbol which, in the Western areas know as the yin and yang, Tai Chi was said to be the practice that preserved the oldest schools of learning which study the receptive and active principles.
Core training features two main concepts: the solo form and the push hands, and the former involves slower and more traditional moves while the latter has a more practical style of movement.
As you may have gathered, the solo form requires a single person to do the movements. Students would be taken through a natural and complete range of motion. The solo form, with regular practice, can improve your posture, flexibility, and circulation in addition to developing your understanding of martial art actions.
Tai Chi has unique style and forms cosmetically. These differences may be due to the wave of the hands, the leg positions, the reactions of the body and the pace of the movement. But these are all irrelevant because what is important to Tai Chi training is that it benefits not only the body but the mind as well. But you can observe that they have many similarities, though.
You'll often see solo forms, weapons, and empty-hands movements in martial arts ad pushing hands. Scenarios like these are intended to prepare the students for training of self-defense.
The philosophy goes: if one becomes stiff and equally uses hardness in attending to violence, otherwise resisting it, then it is expected that both sides can be injured at a certain degree. An injury like that is a Tai Chi theory that coincides with the consequence of fighting brute with brute, which, in Tai Chi is far beyond the right attitude and style.
Unlike in other martial arts wherein force is applied to some measure, in Tai Chi, students are taught that instead of battling it out or directly resisting an incoming force, they should meet it with the must subtle movements and softness, following every attacking motion and in the end, exhausting the attacking force. You do this within close contact of your opponent. This is the principle wherein the yin and yang is applied. In Tai Chi, the goal is to attain yin-yang balance, even in a battle.
Tai Chi also teaches how the energy of an opponent can affect you. Striking your palm may have different effects without looking differently.
This movement can push a person either forward or backward. It is done in such a way that the opponents are lifted vertically from the ground thus breaking and deforming their center of gravity.
This will then eliminate your opponent's force.
