太极拳
太极拳，太极门对其主要拳法嘅总称呼，属内家武学。太极拳呢个名几时开始有已难考正，传闻系由宋元时代太极张三丰创造，但系现代太极门五大派（陈家太极门、杨家太极门、吴家太极门、武家太极门、孙家太极门）叫渠为太极拳，却系由武家太极拳始创人武禹襄开始。武禹襄兄长武澄清於舞阳盐店得到王宗岳所著嘅《太极拳论》。武禹襄见而读之，潜心研究后，心有所悟，始称其拳为太极拳。向武禹襄叫此拳作太极拳之前，杨家太极拳始创人杨露禅向北平教拳嗰阵，此拳曾被称为柔拳、绵拳、化拳、同软拳。
Taijiquan
Tai chi chuan (simplified Chinese: 太极拳; traditional Chinese: 太極拳; pinyin: tàijíquán; Wade-Giles: tai4 chi2 chüan2) is an internal Chinese martial art often practiced for health reasons. Tai chi is typically practiced for a variety of other personal reasons: its hard and soft martial art technique, demonstration competitions, health and longevity. Consequently, a multitude of training forms exist, both traditional and modern, which correspond to those aims. Some of tai chi chuans training forms are well known to Westerners as the slow motion routines that groups of people practice together every morning in parks around the world, particularly in China.
Today, tai chi has spread worldwide. Most modern styles of tai chi trace their development to at least one of the five traditional schools: Chen, Yang, Wu/Hao, Wu and Sun.
