Why are there so many kinds in Tai Ji Chuan? What are their characteristics? What is practical?

Mainly Chen, Yang, Wu, Wu, Zhao Bao, Wudang Taiji, etc. Except Wudang Taiji, most of them originated from Chen, and experienced masters constantly supplemented their own experiences and changed constantly. Learning Yang is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, and no effort is needed. They are elegant and generous, and pay attention to health. Young people are more suitable for learning from the old, combining rigidity with softness, and have dual effects of health preservation and martial arts.

Of course, it mainly depends on what genre the master meets. A good teacher is better than everything! No genre is needed. Meeting a teacher of any genre is far better than meeting a mediocre teacher of a famous genre!

It's hard to teach Tai Chi by yourself, so it's better to find a clever teacher of your favorite genre after comparing more.
