Historically, T'ai Chi  has been regarded as a martial art, and its traditional practitioners still teach it as one. Even so, it has developed a worldwide following among many thousands of people of all ages, with little or no interest in martial training for its aforementioned benefits to health and health maintenance. Some call it a form of moving meditation and it is used as a daily exercise program to maintain and improve ones physical and mental abilities.

The study of T'ai Chi involves three primary subjects:

Health
An unhealthy or otherwise uncomfortable person will find it difficult to meditate to a state of calmness or to use T'ai Chi as a martial art. T'ai Chi's health training therefore concentrates on relieving the physical effects of stress on the body and mind by the use of meditation, breathing techniques and stretching techniques.
Meditation
The focus meditation and subsequent calmness cultivated by the meditative aspect of T'ai Chi is seen as necessary to maintain optimum health (in the sense of effectively maintaining stress relief or homeostasis) and in order to use it as a soft style martial art.
Martial art
The ability to competently use T'ai Chi as a martial art is said to be proof that the health and meditation aspects are working according to the dictates of the theory of T'ai Chi. Though the use of an easy, slow, repetition one develops what is often referred to as muscle memory that can be used in a dynamic forceful methodology which can be used to defeat an attacker.
