Tai Chi Chuan was invented to help an average sized man to stand a chance against much a much larger man in fight, using special techniques and an attitude of mind. If a very strong man falls prey to exhaustion, even a weaker man can bring him down. Basically regardless of your body type, every body type has limits. It is a way to transcend the body's limits, and to optimize its functions.

Developed originally in China as a self-defense strategy, or martial art, tai chi--the "supreme ultimate fist"--is practiced in modern times primarily as a gentle exercise technique.
