    heat - i spotted no one replied to ur post. this is such a bland question man..

    google tai chi. you'll get a load of stuff on it...

    Web definitions for TAI CHI

    Also Known as TAI CHI CH’UAN, and is part of the Tai Chi Ch’uan System, which, originally, was a formidable martial art operating on several levels of awareness. It embodies Taoist Philosophy, and accordingly is extremely beneficial to good health. Tai Chi is a comprehensive series of gentle physical movements, and breathing techniques, with mental and spiritual intent, which allows you to experience a meditative state. It is calming and rejuvenating, and assists the body and mind to maintain balance, and exercises the body, mind and spirit, together with the internal organs. It includes both the inner and outer expressions of the body and mind. Here we are able to balance the Yin and Yang life force energy of Chi. In this way this system develops the ability to balance the “yielding and attacking” aspects in martial art combat. It has also been such a major influence in all the martial arts we see today.

    Results 1 - 10 of about 2,100,000 for what is tai chi. (0.22 seconds) ... k???

    your welcome

    Heat,

    What are your motivations for training? i.e. why do you want to take up a martial art?

    Once we know that, we can recommend which would suit you best.

    Peace Out
    Colm
