>Tai chi, while a martial art, is viewed by many today as a spiritual breathing and balance exercise enjoyed by people of all ages, usually performed in slow motion in a quiet park instead of a fight ring. Tai chi is a martial art in the same way yoga is a martial art. I'm kind of surprised this gets more than a shrug out of Chinese people. I would be surprised if a practitioner of one of the more practical Kung Fu styles could beat a good MMA fighter, but it would have been a lot closer.
