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.
