Currently most of the Tai Chi schools worldwide focus on the health benefits. They are not incorporating the fighting aspects anymore. The traditional Tai chi, and specially Chen Style, belong to the most powerful and effective self-defence systems. The outstanding advantage of Taijiquan is the usage of natural and spiral movement, strength and reactions and a highly effective combat strategy, “moving a thousand pounds with a force of four ounces”. This allows the “weaker” to control a much stronger and heavier opponent. However, it is fair to say that effective self-defence abilities requires a solid Tai Chi foundation.
