telsun Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 You're right Cheeks, give Tai-chi a chance you may indeed be missing out on something. I did Shotokan before moving to Goju. When I started Goju I thought if only I had spent the last 4 years studying this instead of Shotokan!!! And now with my current instructor I can only wish that I could turn back the clock and study with him from day one. Sometimes I feel that I have wasted 13 years of my training life................ I keep asking God what I'm for and he tells me........."gee I'm not sure!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishDave Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hi Cheeky. I've been training only 4 months in Shotokan and on one of the nights I can't make it to class there's a Tai Chi course running later in the evening which I can make. It's only an 8 week course but I am taking both concurrently and the only problem I'm finding is remembering the Tai Chi form as it's more complex than Shotokan - which I consider to be a more 'nuts and bolts' style. So let me know how you get on and let's swap any learnings... my e-mail is dave007lynch@yahoo.com. I'm also considering taking the easy tai chi teacher's course and teaching a short form of tai chi to help make a little more money... see easytaichi.com... It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
