Brisbane Chen tai chi does not teach people to how to fight, rather guiding practitioners ways to
- improve and properly execute their current martial art techniques. Using less strength without losing effectiveness.
- disrupt opponent's energy flow and balance.
- strengthen legs naturally without weight training.
- cultivate one's character (e.g. patiences, wisdom, self-reflection, humility, etc)

Zhang Zhuang (The Wuji Stance)
Also known as the "tree embracing" pose. It is a standing meditation to improve relaxation, cultivate internal energy (chi) through breathing, understanding body alignment and improve leg strength.
No matter how elite or novice a tai chi practioner is, Zhang Zhuang must be practiced regularly in order to improve internally.
