Tai chi

Tai chi is a Chinese martial art initially created for combat and self-defense. For most practitioners, it has evolved into an exercise, a relaxation technique, and a sport. As an exercise and relaxation technique, tai chi is practiced in set sequences known as "forms", usually in gentle flowing motions that are often described as "meditation in motion," and may also be performed in faster and more vigorous routines.

As a sport, competitors are judged on their performance in forms, pushing hands, and free sparring.
As a martial art, practitioners master the applications of forms and partner work for effective self-defense.
