You do not DO Tai Chi. First you must study the motion of Tai Chi, then after learning the motion, a series of moves, then you may start to understand why the moves are performed. TAI Chi expertise comes with the understanding of why the moves are performed. There are different experts in this martial art. Each master has his own beliefs why a motion has to be performed. Example, Float hands like clouds, there are at least three different methods to perform this move. Does this work each way, yes but each master has a belief that their's is the correct motion. Tai Chi is usually performed slowly and rythmatically. After studying the martial art for maybe about five years one can understand why. Example, an object is coming directly at you, this object is going to pass close by you, if this object is sensed by your brain as a problem, then it may seem like this object is moving very slow. When one can view the world at this speed you will know why Tai Chi is practiced slowly.
