Thread Starter 
Is anyone here a practitioner of Tai chi? It's something I'd like to look into. Do you find it useful?

I have read some articles on the subject, videos and photos and it seems Tai Chi is very stylized and effective as exercise.

I am fully intending to get into tai chi in about 20 years or so. I would highly recomend it to you, when you are 60. for now, try doing something a little more manly.

Your definition of manly involves watching bloodsport....puh-pleezzz Moron.

Conne,

Tai-chi is like the first step to training for 1-inch punch. You have to first be like water--must learn to flow before you can crash. Bruce Lee said that not me.

Seriously Conne. Tai Chi is nice and all, but do you REALLY need to appear any gayer than you already do? I mean, you might as well pull up to Tai Chi class in your purple Miata, wearing a lace fringed unitard, blasting showtunes. With your boyfriend.

Coho, Eason - play nicely or I am going to have to separate you two. Enough with the chasing each other around crap. Oh, and +1 on Slim/Eason/Zach's opinions on the topic at hand, which I am sure the entire rest of this thread will be devoted to.

mat, Why do you consider tai-chi a less than masculine exercise? Fishing is a very low-key sport, does that make it gay or any less manly? To understand tai-chi, you must watch this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eZ0RF_QetSQ

It's more about Conne than about tai chi. If one of our more senior members asked about tai chi, I think that there would be resounding support of the suggestion. If someone said they have issues relaxing and were too high strung, what do we think of tai chi, then I suspect the thread would be constructive advice debating various options for similar exercises. When Conne - for whom the board perception is a pretty resounding 'dude, man up' - tai chi is probably a step in the wrong direction.
