I started my martial art experience years ago with tai chi, I am now taking some hard style arts-kung fu?

I miss the internal arts training-does studying hard style help my application of tai chi? I want to return to internal atrs, but do not want to by pass the learning, though I do not like it as well.

    Hey Nathan!

    I just came by to say,.. I pray He will prosper you in this area ... and to give you your hearts desires :))

    I have always had a love of martial arts, but sadly with physical problems I've never been able to get involved - you are so blessed. .

    It's all about Yin and Yang - you may find that the hard style complements your soft style. In my class we practice Qi Gong alongside the Shaolin Kung Fu, which gives a balance between internal and external power.

    Tai is not only good for self defence but for fitness etc aswell.

    External styles depend on muscular strength. Internal styles use internal strength. If u like Taijiquan, then go back to studying it. I prefer Taijiquan to External styles too
