I want to take tai chi instead of a hard style of martial arts?

I have recently developed an interest in Tai Chi based on the slow moving meditation and martial aspects involved. The style i am currently in called Tang Soo Do, is a much harder style with kicks and punches. This can cause a lot of damage to the body. I was hoping to redirect their energy more in Tai Chi without brute force. What is your opinion of this and would anyone recommend doing this instead of another style?
