tai chi

[Wheatmaster]

i've been doin tai chi for about 1.5 years and this has the best guide to teachin tai chi i have ever seen. This is the best u can do without a real instructor teachin u. (me instructor was me dad)

Where's the guide?

Neffing? What do you think is the best martial art form to get in shape? Not ripped or anything, just VERY fit.

like wat do u mean real exercise? if ur talkin bout lifting weights, tai chi can help u alot especially in the future. when u get older ur flexibilty will decrease by alot if u continue to lift weights and tai chi can help that and help with ur health overall

Hmm, the guide reads pretty well... I'd like some illustrations and such since I'm more of a visual person. Thanks though!

I feel having a master/apprentice relationship is part of the experience... not to mention he/she can fix the small errors you may not be able to see or notice yourself especially since proper form is so key in tai chi. Improper form means little or no benefit... you just look stupid

It was sad that I had to quit after I left college as I just didn't have the time nor funds to continue. I combined it with some basic qi gong for maximum benefit... so in effect I was sorta working backwards. Putting ki into my forms rather than using the forms to learning how to manipulate ki from those forms.

There are some good guides on qi gong out there as well. Though one has to be careful when playing with something as powerful as ki. My dad and others have said you can hurt yourself if you aren't careful.
