It's about time to remove the Wade-Giles from the article.........
Much of the English literature about TCC is still published in Wade-Giles. Fire Star 13:28, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Change some of the misconceptions for Tai Chi. For example, (1) Tai chi does not necessary mean slow (for example, in Chen style, you have far ji - short burst of speed) or low impact (high kicks in some styles). (2) Tai Chi is a martial art whether you use it for fighting or not its up to use but to make Tai Chi alive you have to understand the reason for each posture (3) corrected the linearage for Ching Men Chen Ottawakungfu
I am removing those references which suggest that Tai Chi's "martial arts" elements are seperate from its other benefits. "Martial art" should not be used to refer only to combat techniques. BarkingDoc
In English, the "Chuan" is almost never used. I suggest moving to Tai Chi. --Jiang 05:44 11 Jul 2003 (UTC)
- Tai Chi actually is more accurate as a disambiguation page (not as a redirect like now anyway). Because "Tai Chi" has two meanings.
- Taiqi (太氣) "Supreme Ultimate" (a universal energy), or
- abbreviation of Taiji(quan) (a martial art/exercise).
- I think Taiqi is used in Taiji, but by other arts as well.

This article should at least have a redirect from "Taijiquan," the pinyin for "T'ai Chi Ch'uan." The spelling 'Taijiquan' is not uncommon these days.

Also, does anyone here know more about the so-called 'Wudang' style of Taijiquan that is included in this article? I don't think it is usually accepted as a style of taijiquan. (If nobody responds, I will edit it away from the top of the list, as it is surely a minor style.)
