Martial Arts

I'm not exactly sure where this type of thing should go, so I suppose it can be in general discussion for now.

I was thinking tomorrow of going to check out local locations for Tai Chi. Tai Chi seems to be kind of a more spiritually cleansing type of martial arts that can serve as a meditation through movement from what I've kind of seen or read, which isn't much. The place I'm going to go look at also does Chi Kung, Pa Kua Chang, and Wu Chi Kung Fu, none of which I am familiar with. I have never done martial arts and my curiosity has really been spiking lately, so I am thinking of doing something about it.

I'm also going to look at a boxing facility. My goals are to become not only physically fit, but to kind of have a physical outlet that will sort of cleanse my mind and my 'spirit' so to speak. I've never been big on this kind of stuff, but its an idea that has kind of been compelling me to try it.

Another one of my friends has also been plugging Buddhism. Which I'm not sure if I really wanted to get into the more religious side of spiritual cleansing.

I was mostly curious if anyone had any experience, or sufficient knowledge about any of these things, what your familiarity and your opinion of the experiences are. Any other chatter pertinent to the subject is welcome as well, I'm open to hearing more options of what everyone thinks!
