    I have no doubts about tai chi, but I can see the reasons why so many people are skeptic about it. Everyone thinks that soft cannot beat hard. Also there are alot of taichi practioners who don't undestand how internal martial arts work, and are practicing tai chi externaly as if it is an exercise. This isn't true Tai Chi. Tai Chi comes from complete emptyness. This fact confuses many people because they want to gain self defense aplication and health benifits, but to gain you can't look for it you have to let go. The more you let go the more you can borrow from nature.
