Tai-Chi

[Spacer]

I'm starting tai-chi classes in a few weeks, doing the softer wu style. Anyone done it before. I know very little about it, but apart from my meditation I felt I needed something else aswell to help discipline me and heard tai-chi was quiet good.

Its so easy thats is not. It will take time to learn correctly and you will definitely feel it. I highly reccomend it.

Tai Chi is a very good method of calming oneself. I took it for almost a year about two years ago, and have recently picked it up again. Once you have gotten into the class and got a hold of the form, it is a cool thing to read the Tao Te Ching, and understanding Taoist philosophy. It's really wild how much philosophy there is in Tai Chi. Have fun

I completely agree with rhythmdevil! It's wild how much philosophy there is in Tai Chi. :)

Talk to these dudes at http://www.threetemples.com

i take old Yang style from them, but they teach other styles as well. They are hands down the most knowledge internal martial arts teachers i've met.

I would also highly recomend tai chi.
Althou I am still new to both tai chi and meditation- I would say that tai chi has helped me greatly as an introduction to meditaion. I also use tai chi to aid meditaion- I do tai chi directly before meditation to calm myself and get me in the mood.

I've been learning Tai Chi, and I must say it's really cool. You won't regret spending your time at it. And yes, definitely read Tao Te Ching.
