What is the best between wushu kung fu and tai chi chuan ?

i want your opinions of people who actually do it|||It all depends on what you are trying to get out of it. There are a number of key differences between Wu Shu and Tai Chi, the biggest being that Wu Shu is a %26quot;sportified%26quot; adaptation of Kung Fu styles meant for exhibition-type competitions, while Tai Chi is a very specific martial art system.





Wu Shu will teach you acrobatics, gymnastics, speed, precision, grace, and theatrical technique. Wu Shu is merely an umbrella term for this way of performing Kung Fu styles.





Tai Chi will teach you an actual system that is meant for self-defense and personal growth, not only of body and chi, but also of mind and philosophy.|||Another difficult style to find someone in that actually trains with REAL resistance.





Okay, wushu is basically %26quot;modern interperative dance%26quot;.





Tai chi chuan however can be taught legitimately, although in all honesty I%26#039;ve only seen one teacher who actually showed people and applied it with resistance and in a realistic situation and manner with realistic training methods. I%26#039;m not sure if I would come across another in my lifetime but I%26#039;m not exactly looking for a tai chi class. 99% or more of tai chi classes are basically just old people moving on the lawn because if they stop moving they might realize that rigor mortis had set in last night and they are already dead.





Find a good intructor and study with them. Only problem is, if you are dead set on either wushu or tai chi, you might be wearing an adult diaper by the time you do. Don%26#039;t base your search on the style, base it on the quality of the school and the instructor.|||There IS no BEST Martial Art.





While Wushu is the more aggressive discipline (as well as one of China%26#039;s sport Martial Arts with annual tournaments being held) between the two, both of these Martial Arts are closely related, just as the two Korean Martial Arts Tae Kwon Do and Tang Soo Do are two distinct but similar disciplines.





The main reason why you see elderly people studying Tai Chi Chuan is because of it%26#039;s slower use of it%26#039;s techniques and these techniques are more suitable for their bodies due to it%26#039;s use of the relaxation, stretching and muscle toning aspects rather than more strenuous activities; But these techniques can also be effective when used in a more necessary setting (ie if you are attacked by someone).





Both are good disciplines to learn, but you have to find a quality school that%26#039;ll focus on you perfecting your punching, kicking, forms, or self defense techniques they%26#039;ll teach you and not by how soon you%26#039;ll have a blackbelt in the discipline or how many tournaments trophies you%26#039;ll win, because competition is the LEAST important aspect of ANY Martial Arts discipline.





Train often and train well, and you%26#039;ll improve, train poorly, and you won%26#039;t improve.





training frequency, and the training quality are two of several aspects that makes a good Martial Artist.|||You are asking the wrong question. The name of the art is far less important than the instructor who is teaching it. Find a good instructor in any style.|||Tai Chi Chuan is the mother of all martial arts. Ask anyone who knows what they are doing. Wushu is totally different! Just because two styles seem similar in appearance doesn%26#039;t mean that they are the same! Take BJJ and JJ for example... and they are even from the same style!!!|||best as in what way? Personally I wouldn%26#039;t take either of them.





FVCK YOU HOOD! Tai Chi isn%26#039;t mother of all arts! Tai Chi have absolutely NO connect to boxing, wrestling, karate, or other styles! Keep your mouth shut and learn!|||The quality and frequency of training far outweigh the style of the training.





Their is never a best art only a best artist.
