The Taiji symbol or the yin and yang was the where Tai Chi was derived.
Core training features two main concepts: the solo form and the push hands, and the former involves slower and more traditional moves while the latter has a more practical style of movement.
As the word implies, the solo form of Tai Chi, requires only the one person to conquer the movements. A person would go through a natural and complete range of motion over their core. Benefits from the solo form include better posture, circulation, flexibility, and familiarity with a number of important martial art applications.
Major styles of traditional Tai Chi have forms that somewhat differ from the others, cosmetically. Tai Chi may have different waves of the hands, leg positions, body reactions, and movement speed. Tai Chi is different because it targets both the body and mind. But there are many similarities between the different forms.
Solo forms, weapons and empty-hands are movements that are commonly practiced individually in martial arts application and pushing hands. These movements are for self-defense.
The principle behind this is that it is expected that both parties will get hurt if both use hardness during a battle. Tai Chi doesn't believe in fighting brute with brute.
In Tai Chi, you battle force with softness, following your opponent's motion until he gets tired. This is done while maintaining a close contact. This is where you use the yin and yang principle. Tai Chi simply aims to achieve yin and yang balance in a combat.
In Tai Chi, you also learn how the energy of another can affect you when he hits you. For example, the striking the palm can look the same but has different effects.
This movement can push a person either forward or backward. It is done in such a way that the opponents are lifted vertically from the ground thus breaking and deforming their center of gravity.
This will then eliminate your opponent's force.
