But why is Tai Chi power not soft?
Is this just a click bait?
No, an article on what is meant on softness in Tai Chi or martial arts in general is here.
That being said, a summary of what softness means, is that connective tissues like sinews are flexible or elastic. And not tight. Like that of a baby or toddler. This allows for better flow of blood and has health benefits. From a combat point of view, one can then issue power more effectively, without blockages. With the power or force originating in the feet.
