How is tai chi kung fu?

Question

is it relaxing and fun? is it usefull for self meditation and self defence?

Answer 1

Yes. All of those things. I've seen T'ai Chi practitioners toss people about with their training with an almost aikido-like feel. They also tend to be extremely calm people.

I've tried doing it a few times, and had a lot of fun trying, but I have a hard time slowing down for it. Still, it was an oddly pleasant experience, even if a bit frustrating (I felt like I was either rushing or catching up poorly to the rest of the group).

Answer 2

Yes most definitely!

I would recommended it but the self defence side may take quite a bit longer unless you are schooled in similar ie: jiu-jitsu,Aikido.

Best wishes :)***

Answer 3

its more fun when you realize what benifit you get from training slow, most people are frustrated by it and end up quitting because they dont see a use for it. you must master being still before you can master moving

Answer 4

yes its great.
