Tai Chi is a form of slow martial arts which has its origins in Qigong. Tai Chi has been described as an ‘internal martial art’ , due to the mental health benefits received from practicing it. The routines are best practiced with relaxed and fluid movements whilst maintaining a calm state of mind. Each movement from one pose to another is known as a form. There are many different poses and forms that Tai Chi can offer, these are best demonstrated by either instructional videos or in a classroom. See below for some examples of these routines.
