In the early morning, we can see people doing Tai Chi at parks and other public
places. Some people think it is a sport, while others call it a martial art（武术）. So
what is true about Tai Chi?
Tai Chi is one of the most famous traditional martial art forms. It doesn’t develop
physical strength（力量）or attacking（攻击）speed like Shaolin Kungfu. It focuses on
（专注于）relaxing movements. If you are good at Tai Chi, you can move easily, just
like water. And you can always stay away from attacks quickly.
There are different styles of Tai Chi. For example, it is said（据说）that Zhang
Sanfeng created Wudang Tai Chi. According to some ancient stories, he once watched
a fight between a snake and a bird. He learned the skills of each animal while they
were moving, and then he created his own martial art.
Now Tai Chi is one of the national sports of China. It is also popular all over the
world because it is good for people’s health and helps relieve stress（减轻压力）. If
there is danger, people can also use Tai Chi to protect themselves.
