Had a normal Thursday at work, had tea then.. (drum roll please) we went to an evening class!!!
A note had been posted through our door saying there was a Tai Chi class starting locally on Thursdays.. so I persuaded Douglas it would be a good idea to go. Hes done Tai Chi in the past and enjoyed it, so was happy to do some more.
We got there early, and soon the hall had about 20 people in it. The teacher was a broad Yorkshire bloke, probably about 65 or so. His diminuitive wife helped the class too (I liked her, she was very smiley!)
The hall looks rather like this. The movements are slow and gentle - no straining allowed. Its a bit like Kung Fu in slow motion!!
We concentrated on the moves rather than on the moves and breathing, and although it was a bit confusing at times, we both enjoyed it, and look forward to next week.

Partner & I loved Tai Chi when we did it a few years ago, and made a small attempt at getting back to it a year or so ago, but sadly this is still on the "must do sometime" list. Persevere and enjoy.
Anti.
Tai chi need not be done with slow moments, and it is related to kung fu, actually. It can be used for self-defense and has been studied by Taoist priests for centuries.
Tai chi is considered an "internal" martial arts form, and kung fu is considered an "external" martial arts form. Yin and yang in terms of comparison, they can be considered parts of the whole.
Is Tai Chi what they do in the Matrix? lol just kidding. Of coarse it is.
