There are slow ones which are difficult if done correctly. These slow ones do a similar thing as repitions do. They also allow one to put in many more internal components than possible at first going fast.

The fast and fast/slow sets are more martial and applications oriented. Trains you to put internal components int faster, realtime movements.

Then there are sparing set forms and free style push hands.

The weapons forms train the weapons as well as some empty hand elements.

It can be meditative but if done right it is as relaxing as hold posture training. In fact it is more like a moving hold poture form.

This is just taiji chuan, one stlye. I know the other styles have similar forms and sets. Then don't forget the other internal arts which many train at the same time as taiji chuan.

If interested check out this forum which is entirely on the internal arts...
