@gar19830811 Hmmm...I heard that history. Also, that it orginated in Chen village during the Ching Dynasty. However, all the histories seem to point towards the initial practice coming from Shaolin. I'm not going to say which is right, or wrong. After over 2k yrs...I doubt anyone knows the "true" origins.Thanks for the info. Check out "Tai Chi's Internal Secrets" by Grand Master Doc Fai-Wong & Dr. Jane Hollander. Great insight into the practice. Keep it Natural Keep it Tai-Chi!

@stepityo There´s something worng here because it´true that some Yoga techniques were brought to China by Boddhidharma, a Buddhist monk not an incarnation of the Buddha. Martial arts existed before he arrived and Tai Chi is a martial art that according to recent research has its origin in an imperial soldier who wrote a book " Boxing in 38 forms" I think that´s the title. On the other hand, this monk arrived to Shaolin, a buddhist temple, external Qiqong, and Taichi comes from internal, Wutang.

@exploreryen Not trying to say your info is wrong, dude, but, Tai Chi is actually a lot older than 200-300yrs old. Its foundations are in traditional Yoga techniques that were brought to China more than 2000yrs ago. By one of the incarnations of the Buddha. The Chinese combined the elements of Yoga with their traditional Animal Forms and created Grand Ultimate Fist, or, Grand Ultimate Way(TaiChi Chuan).
