Yang Style Tai Chi Boxing

Yang Style Tai Chi Boxing is the boxing aspect of Tai Chi Chuan.  Like Pushing Hands, it is based on Tai Chi Chuan principles of yielding and flowing and re-directing with the opponent's force.  Because it is based on relaxation,  Tai Chi Boxing is incredibly fast and changes direction very quickly.  

Tai Chi Boxing may look similar to Western Boxing  or  Kickboxing,  but is totally different in concept and application. 

Yang Style Tai Chi Boxing and Wu Style Tai Chi Boxing are very similar. 

Tai Chi Boxing is very effective form of defence,  but is very rare nowadays.    Most so-called Tai Chi Chuan masters are not adequautely trained in it.    The following Yang and Wu Style practitioners can be regarded as having been trained:-
