Hi Mariogroup, first off you shouldn't need to defend yourself at school, talk to your teachers. Second, tai chi is a lot more use if you have some martial arts experience already. Quickest way to learn throws like these would be to join a judo class, then come to tai chi later in life with more experience. It'll be better that way - trust me. G

Hi Mariogroup,

[ShaolinRyan]

how many years of study your an natural

[ATACXGYMMUAYTHAI]

@macmus98 I absolutely agree.My BB in Judo&Hapkido,really helps taiji flow for me...and having more life and fight experience, maturity etc. enhances the mindset for arts like taiji and aikido.Now my martial expression from Muay Thai to Capoeira to Kenpo to 5 Animals to Judo etc have basically blended into a single much more efficient potent and comprehensive expression for me.Interestingly,this holistic expression makes it easier to teach and distinguish its parts separately.

Thank you for posting these applications of the form I am learning and doing daily.

If I wanted to learn tai chi for defending myself at school, what form should I use?

I would prefer a kind that involves a lot of throws such as the one in the video.

If there is only one type of self defense tai chi, what is it?

[AsianWhoCanDrive]

tai chi is very useful for those who aren't nescecarily physically strong

@TheZhongzheng Yep I really don't mind where it all came from as long as it all works lol. The concepts are all the same "Tai Chi". I would prob be disappointed if was a mix with Japanese wrestling though ha ha

[macmus98]

@TheZhongzheng Yes, I heard your hand form is from Wu, but your sword form is from Yang Ban-Hou.

[TheZhongzheng]

@macmus98 Yes it is. We do have an element of Yang style and also Wu style in the Chen Tin Hung version of Tai Chi. He had more than one teacher. He named the style Wudang as he believed all Tai Chi comes from Wudang mountain.
