I don't know too much on Chi ... I am starting to believe that the main goal of tai chi is to exagerate the use of body movements coresponding to breath, in relation with balance.
The use of body movement, placement and balance and utilizing all these components together with breath.
With the continous forms of tai chi being (seems) to have alot of body movement but also teaches balance/posture with the strikes. With this continous practicing you are really emphasizing to your mind and muscles body movement ... the great use of hips. Thus giving you more body power with your strikes, movements. Teach to never comprimise balance ie: knees on top of feet ...not passed, > head over shoulder -over hips - over knees -over feet.
The rest of the phenom about chi ... I don't know and am unsure.
I have mixed feelings on the subject ... most due to lack of knowledge about it and a little sceptism.
