Some Tai Chi sequences are not only complicated but also very long. How does a 150+ form sequence which has to be executed in an exacting manner sound to you?
With Qigong it doesn't really matter if you get the sequence wrong or forget about one movement. Just try to remember it next time.
And let's not forget the people who have some physical impairments and cannot perform some movements or have difficulty to perform the balancing act of Tai Chi because of advanced age.
Some people may take issue with this statement, Tai Chi is unforgiving, for the really dedicated or fanatic. Qigong is for ordinary people who like to do some energy work for themselves.
