Aaron J said it correct...

Qigong is in Tai Chi but Tai Chi in not in Qigong - one of my teachers says.

Qigong predates all organized, or formalized martial arts.

The movements of Tai Chi are Qigong in a combative form.

Qigong is not meant to be a combative art, unless you say that it combats ill health and disease, however, you can use "waiqi" or outflowing Qi, to inflict damage on an attacker.

This is what is known as Fajing.

All Internal Arts and a form of combative qigong.
