TajLV a day off, rest is good

A question about this goal: I wanted to join a group, but all I've found so far is private instruction. Should I keep looking or take what is available? April 28th, 2006 15:59

That’s the schedule for the spring semester. It looks like it only meets once a week, (every friday) from 9-10:40. It’s taught by SODERBERG. I heard from a friend that he’s really not that good. He also has a private practice outside. I’m debating whether I should sign up for it or not.

I’ve known tai chi for 10 years, but I haven’t practice it consistently on a regular basis. But once in a while, I would go on a spree and do like 2 or 3 times a day for a month! I did notice a gradual physical change, but I don’t know if it has anything to do with tai chi. I used to be able to complete all three sets of the yang style without sweating. Now, it is very common that at the beginning of the third set, or shortly thereafter, I would start to sweat. Then as I continue on with the set, I start to sweat more and more, until the very end of the set, I will notice that I am sweating profusely with streak marks all over my head.

I don’t know if this is normal practice, but this effect has been consistent with me whenever I do tai chi. And this happens at room temperature. If I go do it on the football field and it’s cold outside, then I would not sweat as much, but the sweating process still holds.

What’s your take on this?

The schedule appears to be for undergards, and Friday mornings wouldn’t work for me, but thanks for sending the link.

Done properly, Tai Chi is supposed to stimulate blood flow. It probably increases metabolism, too. Maybe the sweat is related to that. You body needs to expel the excess heat, so you sweat. There is certainly nothing wrong with it. I wouldn’t be too concerned.

It’s listed for undergraduates. I think a student can take that class regardless of their standing. As for people that are not admitted to the school, I don’t know how that works.
