It's a real martial art, I'll show you something cool. Grab a 20lb dumb bell and hold it to about ear height, notice the weight on your leg. Now jab with your free hand. Tai chi is teaching you to put the weight on your leg without an actual weight, so you can put more force behind your punches. All the movements are a way to shift your weight from one leg to the other.

Hey, man. I have respect for all martial arts. Especially ones that are a cultural art form. I just have opinions about how some martial arts are more geared toward modern unarmed combat. But every martial art has something that you can learn from it.
