No it’s not bad. Tai Chi will enhance your wing chun. I terinad in both and found that studying Tai Chi (Yang style) helped me to become more relaxed during chi sao practice. If the opponent tried to shove my arm or hand back into me I’d stick and redirect it just like it’s done in tai chi’s push hands. Study both long enough and you’ll see what I mean.
I actually studied Tai Chi (Yang Style) for many years before I started studying Wing Chun. It most certainly was a benefit as I had already had a great understanding of relaxation, contact sensitivity, and principes of redirection to name a few. So I get it! Thank you for stopping by WCO!

Hi Jason,
