Tai chi has roots in Chinese martial arts and philosophy, so it is more than just gentle exercise — it also involves mental focus, deep breathing, and the idea of balancing energy (qi). People practice it for fitness, meditation, and stress relief. The full Chinese name 'tai chi chuan' (太極拳) is sometimes heard in English, but 'tai chi' is far more common in everyday use.
