Prior to studying tai chi , Confucian and Taoist scholar Sun Lutang were experts in two other internal martial arts which , like tai chi , emphasize the use of the mind in moving the body . Sun Lutang developed a combination style of tai chi that borrows from various martial arts and tai chi styles .
Hao Style Very few practice this form , even in China as it is the least popular of the five styles . This style puts a strong emphasis on internal qi .
