Tai Chi is related to Acupuncture as they are both part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). You could say that Acupuncture is the healing form linked to the martial art.
Both disciplines operate on the belief that energy travels through specific pathways in the body. While acupuncture uses fine needles to stimulate specific points along these meridians, tai chi uses slow, physical movement and breathing to activate and guide qi through them.
