What are the martial skills (kung fu)?

In combat, tai chi chuan uses evasion, stickiness and sensitivity rather than brute force. 
The muscles remain relaxed at all times and the body moves as one whole unit (neigong).
There are many tai chi chuan martial skills in the syllabus, including shuai jiao (take downs), chin na (seizing), jing (internal power), san sau (fixed sets), san da (freeform combat), form application, weapons and self defence.
