Tai Chi is essentially a form of Kung Fu slowed down to maximize the exercise
potential and lessen the strain on your body.
Once you have learned the essential 108 movements (its all one long cycle that
puts you back where you are started, but is learned as 108 or so individual
moves), you have a routine that will exercise pretty much every muscle in your
body, looks cool, and requires no equipment to perform in, any stretch of
ground/grass/parkinglot with a roughly 15x15 ft area free would probably do.
Its been very popular in China for centuries and obviously works quite well,
given the number of old people you see doing it in droves there.
