What are the main differences between Aikido and Tai Chi Chuan?
Both have a similar concept. Use your opponents force against them. So what's the major difference between the two? Is this the way he uses the techniques he is? Why? There are different Forms of Tai Chi Chuan, but they are all Tai Chi Chuan. What separates the two much?
A few good answers were given here, but let me throw in my two cents. While Aikido training is mainly based applications, Taijiquan is not only based on the forms. Forms are a very important part of training, but without working applications, there will be no real understanding of the principles. To complete a level of training and full benefits, adequate time should be spent on the basics, forms (empty hand and weapons), applications and research principles. So while Aikido is a very effective form of martial arts (when taught properly) techniques are generally defensive in nature. This is due to the philosophical teachings of the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba. Taijiquan (in my experience, the Chen style) always contains the technical offensive and defensive, which were seen on ancient battlefields. Other arts that formed much of the foundation of Aikido as Aiki Jujutsu and Daitoryu (some sources say was another Baguazhang martial art that influenced Morihei Ueshiba) also still maintain the effectiveness the battlefield.
