Can anyone experienced in martial art before tell me the difference between wushu and tai chi chuan ?

compare the avantages ...what is the most effecient,powerful ..?


cause i boggle between those two magnificient arts|||%26quot;Wushu%26quot; is coined by mainland China to encompass all martial arts and Chinese Wushu can be mainly divided into two subsets. Subset %26quot;Chuantong Wushu%26quot; or %26quot;Traditional Wushu%26quot; ideally refers to the classical martial arts styles that haven%26#039;t been tainted with competition requirements but are taught for effectiveness. %26quot;Xiandai Wushu%26quot; or %26quot;Modern Wushu%26quot; is essentially flashy performance and competition sets with no applicability at one extreme and kickboxing-like Sanda in the other extreme with no moderation in between as most Modern Wushu practitioners train in either one or the other but not both. (The western world generally use %26quot;Wushu%26quot; in references to Modern Wushu performance routines, %26quot;Sanda%26quot; to mean the Modern Wushu contact sports, and %26quot;KungFu/GungFu/GongFu%26quot; to mean Traditional Wushu.)





TaiChi/Taiji is a style of Chinese Martial Arts with practitioners in both Modern and Traditional Wushu camps as well as New-Age-health-nuts. Modern Wushu Taichi is for performance. Recent competitions in Modern Taichi even has people performing tornado kicks, butterfly kicks not unlike other Modern Wushu performance routines. Traditional TaiChi is tough training like any other Traditional Wushu styles. The TaiChi for health camp is pretty much just people finding new ways to work out and shouldn%26#039;t be considered martial artists.





Your request for comparison between Wushu and Taichi isn%26#039;t valid, because you are comparing a general martial arts term/trend to a martial arts style. It%26#039;s like asking for a comparison between an automobile and a Lincoln Towncar.|||They are both highly impractical fighting styles. Wushu is much flashier and acrobatic, and you could do some minimal damage. Tai Chi is way too slow for fighting. The main thing is that they work on your mind and spirit.|||Wushu is very active and requires great agility and energy. It%26#039;s like gymnastics. Tai Chi is like moving meditation with no jumps and very rare quick movements. You move slowly paying careful attention to your weight distribution and posture. They are totally different.





Wushu uses weapons, Tai Chi can use a sword but very very slowly.


How can you call them both magnificent when you don%26#039;t know what they are?|||when china decided to standardize the martial arts and use it in competition, it developed wushu. wushu techniques are stylized to look good in competition, rather than retaining the actual fighting techniques. wushu gives you great conditioning and flexibility, but may not make you a good fighter. it depends on the instructor%26#039;s background as with any martial art.





tai chi chuan is a fighting art that has 5 main styles: chen, yang, wu, wu-hao, and sun. wushu tai chi looks alot like chen style. the most popular style of tai chi is the yang style. most instructors teach tai chi for health benefits, so it%26#039;s hard to find one who has the thorough knowledge to explain the principles used in actual fighting. when watching a tai qi class, are their bodies ( legs, hips, arms) moving as one unit?
