This kind of practice can help you improve your Tai Chi Kicks!
If you say, "This kind of practice can help you improve your kicks!", I can understand that. When you say, "This kind of practice can help you improve your
Tai Chi Kicks!", I want to ask, "Why do you care?"
It makes no sense to put MA style (such as Taiji) above combat tool (such as front kick). Your combat tool can come from different sources. It's not a good idea to use MA style to set restriction on yourself.
Can you find all the combat tools from Taiji system? I don't think you can.
