TAI CHI
Before Tai Chi there were many other styles of Wushu or martial arts. Tai Chi was
developed approximately 100 years before the gun. When guns became popular Tai Chi
began to change its emphasis. As it was no longer needed for self-defence, it began
to evolve into a sport. However some people felt that Tai Chi was too good a Martial
Art to lose, and kept this side of it going. In the last century, as China became more
open, Tai Chi was able to spread. Yang Luchan took it to Beijing, and later Chen Fa
Ke taught there. Today it has spread around the world.
