Tai Chi Chuan requires practicing as slowly as possible, and no exertion is allowed. In this case, the load of tendons will be greatly increased, but the muscles will be relatively relaxed. Then after practice, physical fitness recovered quickly and the strength of tendons was also exercised. After the strength of tendons is improved, the body will become softer and softer, unlike the muscle guy outside the gym. Although he has great strength and heavy punches, his body is as stiff as a robot and slow to respond. He can't hit anyone with dozens of punches. And Tai Ji Chuan is also very helpful in training people's sensitivity. Extremely high sensitivity, coupled with a soft body, occupies a great advantage in actual combat. When attacked, his body was like a hanging cloth, as powerful as a mud cow entering the sea, and disappeared into the sea without a trace. When attacking, it's like a whip. It makes people wonder how to avoid it. You can evade and attack from an unimaginable angle, with unparalleled speed and attack like running water. So the slower and smoother Tai Ji Chuan practices, the faster he can fight. And this is beyond the layman's understanding, just like "a593595579".
Tai Chi usually takes three years to defend itself, while Tai Xu Boxing can deal with gangsters who don't know martial arts in three months. Moreover, the boxing theory of Taijiquan, even gentle galloping to both rigidity and softness, is the supreme strength in the world martial arts.
Personally, I am extremely opposed to the view of "a593595579". Boxing and free fighting are just tricks used by western bulls to deceive laymen. It is ok to bully the weak who have never studied martial arts. If you meet the real "China Kung Fu", you will only be beaten, and those who have certain martial arts training at home will simply disdain it.
