What is the difference between Tai Chi and Chi Kung (Qi Gong)?
There are many similarities between Tai chi and Chi Kung; the gentleness of the movements, the circulation of Chi and the amazing results in helping to heal illnesses. The major difference is that Tai Chi was originally practiced as a martial art. In Tai Chi the force used is internal fighting with Chi, which needs to be trained and observed with deep awareness. That is the reason why it is practiced slowly at the beginner level. When you are totally aware of the circulation of Chi in your body, you will be able to move faster.
