      What is your goal in learning these? To have fun? To win competitions? To gain combat ability?

      Because there is real Taiji, and then there is the slow-mo dance that people mistake for Taiji.

      Real Taiji is extremely combat-effective. However, it is incredibly difficult to learn. There are also very few teachers able and willing to teach this.

      On another note, self-defence has more to do with awareness and street smarts than it has to do with martial arts.
