Some propose that Tai Chi Chuan refers to the art martially and Tai Chi refers to the art as an exercise for health and wellness. We humbly disagree. A person refers to the same art regardless of using Tai Chi Chuan or Tai Chi. The difference is no more or no less than referring to someone named Robert as Bob. Although we can not be certain of the origins of the idea that they are two different arts, we assume that someone at some point wanted to be sure to draw a line between the teaching Tai Chi as a martial art and the teaching of Tai Chi as a health and wellness modality.
