Your current description of Tai Chi Chuan leaves out some important information. First, Tai Chi Chuan translates as “The Grand Ultimate Fist”. This name was chosen because the original style of Tai Chi Chuan, Chen Style, was considered the most powerful fighting system at the time. The style encompassed a vast amount of Chin Na (joint locking techniques) and powerful strikes that focused on specific muscle groups, chi meridians, pressure points, and blood vessels for maximum damage. Tai Chi was created by a doctor who happened to be a martial artist. This was a factor in why this martial art was so brutal.
