I’ve been pretty darn lazy the past few months (I’ll blame it on a pseudo-hibernation), but I’m going to attempt to climb out of the funk by getting serious about tai chi again. Posting this is an attempt at motivation…

I’ve been playing tai chi chuan for over twenty years, but still feel like a beginner. Tai chi chuan (tie jee chwahn) is also anglicized as tai ji quan (and various others), and literally means supreme ultimate fist, but is a discipline that has an incredible depth and history (some real, some mythical).

I’ve also dabbled in chi gong (chi kong, qi gong, et cetera), which is very similar to tai chi, but the practitioner is typically rooted to one spot instead of stepping into different postures as in tai chi.

I’m planning on providing a weekly update (with some info-dumps), which should, I hope, work as a catalyst to keep me off the sofa and onto my feet.

I hope it proves interesting to readers as well…
