Taichi
The fundamental principle of tai chi chuan is smoothness: the practitioner should move in a natural, relaxed, loose and fluid way. When exercising tai chi chuan there are no strength, quickness, or hardening exercises, like the breakthrough tests (tameshiwari) that are common in various combat sports. Rather, the movements are required to be carried out with a minimum of force. Unlike many other martial arts, tai chi chuan is exercised slowly, in order to apply the techniques as correctly as possible. Some styles or forms of tai chi chuan are practiced more quickly (especially the forms with weapons), or include certain isolated very fast and explosive movements.
In fighting, the tai chi chuan fighter tries to “stick” to the adversary, that is, always maintain contact with him. Instead of reacting to certain attacks by the opponent with certain counterattack techniques, the body must react spontaneously and naturally, not by resisting the attacks, but by using the opponent’s own strength and directing it against him.
