What is older Kung Fu or Tai Chi?

Technically depends on your definition of Kung Fu. If you're talking about Kung Fu as in martial arts in general, then it's quite a bit older than Tai Chi. In fact, the Chinese have been creating forms of martial arts for a long time - over 5000 years back.In relation to Tai Chi, which dates back to around the 18th century, Kung Fu is definitely older. (Although in fact, Tai Chi is a martial art, therefore you could say it is part of Kung Fu. Of course, Tai Chi is one of the many different forms of martial arts that the Chinese studied.)

Which website teaches you martial arts like Avatar?

Avatar: The Last Airbender was an American animated television series that aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from 2005-2008. It was set in an Asian-influenced world of martial arts and elemental manipulation. The show drew on elements from East Asian, South Asian, and Western culture, making it a mixture of anime andUS domestic cartoons. The martial arts depicted were based on four different Chinese martial arts. Fire bending was based on Northern Shaolin Kung Fu; water bending was based on Tai Chi; air bending was based on Ba Gua (or the Circle Fighters); and earth bending was based on Hung Gar Kung Fu.As for training, you can not really learn martial arts from a website. If you really want to learn Chinese martial arts, it should be easy to find a school that teaches either Northern Shaolin Kung Fu (which is what Jet Li studied), or Tai Chi. Ba Gua and Hung Gar Kung Fu are less popular. Check out the Northern Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: http://www.northernshaolinacademy.com/new/NsaSiteIntro.asp, and then check your local yellow pages to find a school near you.
