Taichi as an Internal Art

Just wanted to ask for the sake of discussion...

When we say "I do Taichi", we normally mean to say that we practice
whatever Taichi form we do, right?

But what is really the essence of *doing Taichi*?

Can I say that I'm doing this form that's called Taichi but I'm really NOT
doing Taichi?

Can I say that I'm NOT doing this form called Taichi but even then I'm
still doing Taichi?

Comments?

Ed

Thanks for the interesting replies. Long time ago, someone created the internal style of Taichi based on 13 postures. There were no fixed forms at that time....
