August 16 Martial Arts In ChinaT'ai Chi Chuan
T'ai Chi Chuan, is one of the oldest pugilistic
systems in China and is the most popular as
well as misunderstood Chinese martial arts
because large numbers of people practice it
for health and relaxation: on the other hand
just a few people realize its martial foundation.
This split between practice for health and practice
of defense early in the 20th century because more
and more people began to use it as an easy method
of exercise. At the same time, fewer people were
studying it as a martial art.
