The idea was to allow practitioners to learn and work on the health and healing while leaving out the martial aspects of Combat Tai Chi. Over the last 50 years or so some Tai Chi instructors dropped the Martial Tai Chi fighting principles from their art and started calling their art just Tai Chi without the Chuan. We tend to say Combat Tai Chi rather than just Tai Chi because although the direct translation is fist in the case of Combat Tai Chi fist refers to the idea of combative use much more than any specific reference to an actual fist. All Tai Chi started out as Combat Tai Chi or Tai Chi Chuan. When we say Combat Tai Chi we are actually referring to Tai Chi Chuan.
