I'm trying to find out the difference between a tai chi and a qigong.

A tai chi is a form of Chinese martial art that focuses on slow, graceful movements and emphasizes internal energy. It is often practiced in pairs or small groups, with each person taking turns leading the session. Qigong, on the other hand, is a form of Chinese internal energy cultivation practice which involves physical exercises, breathing techniques, and meditation. It typically involves a single practitioner moving through a series of postures and poses while focusing on their breath and intent.
