tai chi

I personally gave up on this, as much as I enjoyed it, because it’s really not something that you can just do for an hour once a week and forget about it the rest of the time.

For your time invested to yield anything, you really have to dedicate yourself and be willing to keep up with it. However, judging by my teacher’s health at his age the benefits are probably worth it.

Have now progressed to this.

My wife became interested a few days ago; we are now doing together.

Went back to class after about 8 months. (I started uni, was doing p/t work, and moved to a place with no garden.)

Lots of dedicated brothers and sisters with the school now. It was obvious I’d missed a lot of practice. I’ve been doing a couple of forms every other day since returning, plus some standing-post exercises. I can feel my shoulders torso and neck loosening up, and kinks straightening out of my ribcage and spine. I’m always surprised and feel a buzz at the effects of getting back into regular practice after a break. So far so good. Second class is tomorrow…

Currently I am at repulse the monkey (yang short form).

I’ve found two different tai chi classes to join – one’s more martial arts oriented, one’s more meditative. Now I’m going to class three days a week, so that means I’m practicing more, so I don’t confuse the two (the martial arts class is teaching Yang Short Form, the meditative class is teaching Yang Long Form).

Tai Chi can improve body, it is thinkable and a good way.

Tai Chi sport include chuan, weapon (sword and boradsword) and push hand practice.

By the way, Tai Chi also have many fighting skill for combat
