Tai Chi conjures up images of old folks in a park slooooowly passing the time away doing moves that doesn't seem at all like martial arts.
Summary:
There are quite a few "styles" of tai chi. Some consist of very elaborate steps not so easily duplicated by a novice, while others seems easier to learn.
Although it seems like a very non-physical art to master, a person who tries it will know that it is physically demanding to maintain the posture required of the art.
I DO NOT know how effective it is in combat as I have NEVER seen tai chi sparring before. Yes, there are youtube videos of Tai Chi demos but not all out sparring.
Tai Chi vs Boxing, hmmm, not a very pretty picture....until of course, I learnt of COMBAT TAI CHI!!
