I have haerd and been told there are 2 types of MA, Hard and Soft. Hard being Muay Thai, Shaolin Kung fu, boxing, karate, tkd, etc. And Soft being Taichi, Judo, etc. I would have posted this in the chinese martial arts section but I know I'm gunna get blasted with biased point of views so I posted it here. So is there really such a thing? I personally think that there is no difference in Martial Arts but I would like to clarify with you guys.

Edit:I checked in some of the Chinese MA forums, I think in english it is "external and internal" instead of "hard or soft". I may be wrong.
