Let's share the difference between Tai Ji Chuan and Tai Chi.
The difference between Tai Ji Chuan and Taiji 1 Tai Ji Chuan and the origin of Taiji.
After 1949, Tai Ji Chuan was adapted by the State Sports Commission as a gymnastic exercise to keep fit. Only after the reform and opening up did it partially recover its original appearance. From then on, it can be divided into two types: 1, Tai Ji Chuan for martial arts; 2. The application of Tai Chi exercises and Tai Chi pushing hands in gymnastics.
Have different functions
Tai Ji Chuan is used in tournaments and has the functions of attack and defense. Since ancient times, the purpose of practicing martial arts is to fight. As a traditional martial art, Tai Ji Chuan's main function at first was actual combat. This is the main function of Tai Ji Chuan, and the second function is to keep fit. Taiji exercises are mostly used for sports and fitness, and they don't value actual combat skills. It is not much different from running, aerobics and other fitness activities.
Different degrees of difficulty
Tai Ji Chuan's practice takes a long time, and it takes several years to master the standing pile practice and waist exercise, and the requirements for movement and motivation are strictly in place. Tai Chi exercises have relatively low requirements for this. According to the teacher's practice, the movements are generally similar, but the specific force and movement requirements are not high.
Different contents
Tai Ji Chuan pays attention to basic skills, Gong Zhuang, waist and hip kung fu, and practices the coordination of breath muscles, the opening of waist and hip, the transformation of reality and strength, and so on. Tai Chi exercises are basically all kinds of Tai Ji Chuan routines, Tai Chi swords, Tai Chi fans, and other traditional health-preserving items such as Baduanjin and Wuqinxi can be added. Most of them just need to imitate actions and use muscles. You don't need breath, strength, standing piles and other exercises. And there are often music-assisted fixed routine exercises.

Internal qi exercise is different.
Tai Ji Chuan, as one of the three types of internal boxing, pays more attention to the cultivation of internal qi. As the saying goes, "Exercise your muscles and bones with internal breathing", Tai Ji Chuan should exercise both internal qi and physical fitness.
