I've thrown somebody across the room using Tai Chi Ch'uan. The thing is that many people practice the solo exercise and never even are aware that this is supposed to just be the martial arts equivalent of doing musical scales. It gets your body used to the range of motion most likely to be exploited in the art in question.
