Using Tai Chi as a Self Defense Art (Long Har Chuan) The words, 'martial art' in most people's minds is synonymous with self-defence. When one mentions that he or she is a 'martial artist' it conjures up in people's minds the invincible Bruce Lee type who in a battle seems to have eight arms and legs.
Because the Tai Chi movements have their origins in the martial arts, practicing them does have some martial applications. In a two-person exercise called 'push-hands' Tai Chi principles are developed in terms of being sensitive to and responsive of another person's 'chi' or vital energy.
