The study of Tai Chi begins with learning a Tai Chi form. But there is much more to the traditional curriculum of Tai Chi Chuan (grand ultimate fist) for those who are interested, including qigong, pushing hands, saber, sword, staff, silk-reeling (aka yin/yang sticking hands), Tai Chi Ball, Tai Chi Qigong, the Tai Chi Partner Fighting Set, Qin Na (grappling) and eventually sparring. Here are examples from the YMAA (Yang's Martial Arts Association) curriculum, as taught by Master Yang, Jwing-Ming. www.YMAA.com less
