First and foremost Tai Chi is NOT an art. ART is Art and is distinguished by that intentionality. Tai Chi was not intented to be art. Thus it is not art.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! You bring up an interesting point about intentionality in art. While it's true that Tai Chi is primarily a martial art with a focus on meditation and self-defense, many practitioners and observers also appreciate it for its aesthetic and expressive qualities, much like a performance art. The intention behind Tai Chi might not have been artistic originally, but its graceful movements and the mindful manner in which it is practiced can be seen (by many) as a form of artistic expression. And those who see it primarily as a martial art, confirm it is an art in the name. It is subjective really. Thanks again!
@@BurrisFamilyGallery Calling it an art does not make it so. While it might have an aesthetic quality, and yes, martial arts is a thing, nevertheless a title makes None of these truly art. A certain someone also published a book, "The Art of the Deal"...chuckle Need one say more.
I don't intend to be rude, but isn't dancing considered an art form? As we all know, real Tai Chi is a choreography of steps packaged into forms which obviously can be an art form (like ballet, etc.) if perfectly done. Likewise, if the intention of Tai Chi is to be a martial art then are we going to say that it is not intended for physical health?
