Tai Chi Master
1993 · Director: Yuen Woo-ping · HK
What it is about
Two brothers from the Shaolin monastery part ways; one joins the army, the other discovers tai chi.
The fighting in it
One of the few films to present tai chi as a fighting art rather than morning exercise in the park. The principle of redirecting an opponent's force instead of stopping it is demonstrated clearly.
