Why do we wear training pants when practising Tai Chi?
The peasants in China did not officially gain the right to wear silk clothing until the 1600's, but martial arts practitioners, many of them monks and nuns in Buddhist and Taoist monasteries, wore silk robes throughout all their daily activities, including kung fu and tai chi practice. Taiji philosophy predates the martial art of taijiquan by thousands of years, and it is likely that these early philosophers wore silk robes daily as well.
