And then there is Xing Yi Quan and Xin Yi Quan or Xin Yi Lui He Quan, which is seen as more martial.
The truth is, they are all martial arts, with roots in combat. Yang Lu Chan made his bones, beating up people in Beijing before he was hired as martial arts instructor by the elite in the imperial house.
The difference between most of the “Tai Chi” we see and authentic Tai Chi. Is that authentic Tai Chi is practiced less because it is mostly seen not as martial art.
Is there more to Tai Chi?
Of course, there is, there is more to everything in life.
