Any particular reason?
Many forms of martial arts aren't what western media makes them out to be. You might find that another form meets your requirements better. |

No, I'm not training to become a ninja capable of destroying a horde of rampaging killbots. I've recently taken up meditation, it has improved my memory, and made me much more focused. I believe that T'ai Chi would be a similarly good influence. and yes, I do know that western culture has made a bit of a mockery of eastern diciplines by exaggerating them to the max. Also, I do a lot of climbing, which involves paying attention to your body and the way it moves. I think this will help my technique. |
Yeah, according to everything (not a whole lot) I know about Tai Chi, it's all about meditation, self-knowledge and centering your spirit/mind. Supposed to be very therapeutic/healthy.

Sounds like the right reasons. I wish you the best with it and wish I could find the time to train regularly in it myself.
I need to find a good martial arts school near me. My dad (brown Kung-fu and Karate) trained me as a kid with a lot of the basics and principles in order to give me enough knowledge to let me decide what I would want to study later in life. I still need to make good on his investment and I'm around the right age to make a mature decision about it. |
I just started a course in this last week - It was fantastic - I'll post more up here as it happens - I'd like to hear from anyone who has done this who can tell me how they best learn to remember the moves, and how they practice at home.
