Similar to the " Katas ", they are postures of combat with an imaginary partner. All this work leads then to the training with the weapons: sabre, sword, sticks, pole…The fundamental aspects of Taï Chi Chuan make of it a remarkable discipline with several orientations :
Martial aspect : with the manner of a combat, dodgings and attacks are connected, without aggressiveness, even in the application between two partners. EThey obey precise laws of courtesy, of respect of the other because the force does not intervene, only the movement is used or diverted in its own energy.
