What Is Tai Chi?

Is it a mystical ancient art? Is it a health panacea? Is it a black and white circular symbol? How about an ultimate fighting system? What about a philosophy or conceptual framework? Depending on who you ask, tai chi could be any one of the above mentioned possibilities. There is a joke that goes “How many tai chi practitioners does it take to screw in a light bulb? 100. One to screw it in, and 99 to say ‘that’s not how I was taught to do that.’” Similarly, if you ask 100 different people what tai chi is, you’re liable to get nearly as many different answers.
