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

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.

if I knew calling you out on being an idiot repeatedly would have this kind of profound effect on you, I might... no I'd still have done it

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.

Miguel Antonio and Coho dishing out exercise advice? Am I reading Bizzarro SF or something?

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:

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.
