Older Tai Chi had things like weight Ball, Striking a Tree to generate power in your palm strikes, shoulder stroke and kicks, and splashing hands in water for iron palm fajin.

Does your tai chi do these things today?

Are do you just chi gung, push hands, and forms...

Do you simply do techniques in the air with out hitting something that gives you resistance like people who practice Baguazhang and Baiji today?
