This post is in response to a reader’s question on whether the style of Tai Chi that he is wanting to pick up is real Tai Chi or not. My response? I don’t know.

What I know is this - real Tai Ji doesn’t depend on style.

It is not the style of Tai Chi that defines whether Tai Chi is real or not. It depends on the interpretation of the person practising it. I can hazard a leap of assumption that anything, be it watering the plants or taking out the trash can be real Tai Chi, as long as you understand the principles.
