Tai Chi Hand
Anyone experienced in Tai Chi, I hope you’ll tell me your experience.?
I’ve been learning a little bit about it and have tried it a few times so I’m still just a beginner but I’ve enjoyed it very much and know some of it’s benefit on my mind.
I was hoping anyone who is a long time practitioner could tell me some of there experience, that makes Tai Chi worth while. (by physical, mental, or benefits to life in general).
(I understand I may not have a very clear question but really I want to get as many answers as I can. But I’m not interested in hearing anything from someone who has no first hand experience or training with it.)
First you need to decide:
What style of Tai Chi?
Yang
Chen
Wu
Sun
Chen Pan Ling
one of the lesser known styles.
Next:
Do you want to learn martial applications (Tai Chi Chuan)?
For all around “completeness” I like Chen Pan Ling. It (at my school anyway) incorporates empty hand form, push hands and weapons. It also includes, at an advanced level — if you choose to study it, Kuo Shu. Kuo Shu is all of the Chinese martial arts (Tai Chi, Bagua, Hsing-I, Qigong and Shaolin.)
Tai Chi is a LONG TERM STUDY…
There are no belts, no ranks, and we are talking about the rest of your life here (if you want to do so.)
Tai Chi is an endless study that keeps you improving your technique. In my school (which includes people who have studied for 40 years) nobody is a master — everybody considers him/herself to be a student or a player (including the instructors.)
The mindset that I was taught when I first started was:
“You are 2 years old and you are learning how to play.”
and
“There is no right or wrong, just different.”
Those two precepts pretty much sum up Tai Chi.
BTW: This is why one “plays Tai Chi” or is “a Tai Chi player.”
