I prefer not to play Tai Chi at home. Each of the Five Directions holds an unwelcome distraction. Look left: unpaid bills. Gaze right: a pile of laundry. Whenever possible, I head to a local park instead, where the sunshine, fresh air, and vibrancy of nature provide a pleasant environment for practice. I have practiced outside daily for years, and I would recommend it to anyone, with one caveat: you need to know how to handle your audience. Here are a few tips to keep you safe and out of trouble...

Tai Chi Chuan - General Background
The initial aim of Tai chi chuan is to teach the practitioners to relax. Relax does not mean to flop loosely around, but rather to use the body as efficiently as possible, with no muscular tension.

Internal/External
In Chinese martial arts there has traditionally been a distinction made between 'internal' and 'external' martial arts, with the former being said to be more fluid, rounded, relaxed, and based on use of 'Qi', and the latter based more on hard, straight, often 'fixed' movements, utilising muscle strength.
