Answer 3

They are both ancient Chinese physio-spiritual disciplines that are based on the sensing and manipulation of the "chi" or life force. (The word appears in both terms -- "qi-" being the same as "chi.")   Qigong is more health oriented, whereas Tai Chi is specifically a martial art.

Answer 4

I don't know anything about Oklahoma, but qigong and tai chi are a bit different.  I'm more familiar with qigong, which is a type of healing breath practice.  It is my understanding that tai chi is more focused on movement.
