How many tai chi moves are there?

While it is true that there are a number of fixed moves in Tai Chi thinking about it in this way can be very misleading.

When you first start to learn Tai Chi you will often be taught a fixed form. For example the '24 Posture Simplified Yang Style Form'. This has 24 distinct moves. You may then be taught a form with 48 postures/moves. Soon you will realize that what you need to learn isn't how to perform the move, but rather what this move teaches you about movement in general.

Tai Chi is movement. Nothing more, nothing less.

The greatest form in Tai Chi has no shape, no fixed pattern and will naturally counter any technique used against it. Naturally this is near impossible to obtain, but it gives the general idea that you should be aiming for.

Can people with RSD CRPS practice Tai Chi?

I have had CRPS/RSD on my left side since 2001. Four years ago I started Tai Chi. I have a pain level at 2 or 3 after class versus 6 or so when I start. The relief lasts for 12 or so hours along with a massive change for the better in my energy level. It is very hard at first to learn and to get the body going. When I started I could lift my foot off the ground about 3 inches with lots of wobbling. I fell frequently due to weakness on the left. My kicks are now at about 50 inches from the ground with good control. I no longer fall due to better strength and balance. I no longer feel handicapped. If the pain starts at night and keeps me up there are a few 5 min moves that I do and I am back in bed and asleep in 10 to 15 min versus the hours I used to spend in horrible pain every night. The arm and leg look almost normal. When I started they were swollen and purple. I have also stopped taking antisiezure, antidepressants and drugs to quiet the nerves. I need a painkiller about 3 times a month and that is it. Good Luck. Give it a try. It cannot hurt you and it may help you as much as it has helped me. You muscles will ache at first as they get used to being stretched but the result if freedom from drugs, pain and many limitations.

How can tai chi help defend yourself?

The best source is your instructor. S/he can show you the application of the moves in a combat situation.

Tai chi is an art of fluidity and a good self defense skill. because tai chi is known for its fluidity, brutal straight on attacks doesn't work on the user (if they know how to use tai chi). is like hitting water.

Tai chi 2nd defense skill is its healing ability during combat. this is no joke or fiction. the fluid movement of the body allows you to minimize the pain by transferring the attack to throughout the body. Wwhen you hit water, the water transfer the energy from your attacks to throughout the water body.

Tai chi attacks are normally hard yet soft (like a whip). It all depends on the user. Tai chi could be useless if the user is not committed into it. Tai chi requires a lot of patient.

Your local YMCA is offering Tai Chi lessons and you want to learn to so-called 'Waterbend'-do you just study what they provide or wait to learn ku style tai chi which is what Katara is studying?

All Tai Chi styles have the same essential foundations, and have the same aims or goals for betterment of life and martial ability. They differ in how they execute these foundations. Ku style is also (primarily) known as Guang Ping Yang style which is hard to find in the US. It would definitely be worth learning any style of Tai Chi until you can find someone teaching Guang Ping Yang.
