    Wonderful! I agree, those terms tend to get mixed up sometimes.

    I had expected no less of you, Steve.



    Both are chinese relaxation techniques, but while Qi-Gong is more concentrating on the breathing technique than on movements Tai Chi has incorporated that breathing technique technique and combines it with slow controlled flowing movements. I think that sums it about up. Correct me if I explained it wrong, TP.
    That's more or less right, DS

    Qi Gong literally translated means "energy work", in other words you use the movements to channel Qi (energy) around your body - it can be used to heal sometimes.
    Tai Chi (Qi and Chi are the same thing - energy) means energy strength or weapon, so Tia Chi tends to be martial arts based, the movements being slowed down and sltylised versions of martial arts movements. Both were originated by the Shaolin monks.

    Sorry! Lecture over!
    You hit on an interest of mine, both the exercise and Chinese history!

    Steve: *proud smile*

        Lecturing is fine since I'm interested in those two subjects myself.

              LMAO!!!!

              OK, OK, you got me now - it;'s been more than 5 years since I last practiced!!!

              Dray, just so you know - these are the names of different Qi Gong movements - a bit like the Cobra, the Bow or the Salute Top The Sun in yoga!
