I didn't watch that video but I took a Tai Chi class for a few months a while back.

It's mostly a spiritual and mental art. It's has it's physical benefits too like the relaxation and mind-muscle connection. But it's mostly a spiritual level thing.

I took my class at a community college. It was like 100 people in the gymnasium and it was like 80% women. That was a GREAT class.

That's one of the best parts about taking Tai Chi and Yoga classes. The hot hippie chicks and lonely housewives.

Hmmm, maybe I gave up too soon...
Got some anecdotes to share?

Well, over the years i've taken yoga classes at like 10 different yoga studios in various cities and countries.

Usually yoga classes are full of cougars, older women who will aggressively try to fuck you. I bagged a couple milfs like that. A couple younger women too.

For me. Taking a yoga class is a GREAT way to meet women and get action. I've had very good luck with it. Especially if you do Yoga really well and the women think you are on a level of heightened spiritual awareness, their pussy will just melt for you like hot butter.

I had some cool flings out of yoga class.

I fucked a yoga instructor once. She was 22 years old, Italian, a little chubby but in a GOOD way. A body like Alexis Texas. Just thick in the right places and in shape from all the yoga.

I fucked some bimbo with fake tits. She was muscular and obsessed with working out, sort of like a bodybuilder mindset where she was taking fitness to the extreme and she did iron man competition and shit like that. She was probably on some steroids too because her muscles her pretty hard and big for a woman. And she was a horny bitch. Kind of crazy and bipolar. Usually had this wild look in her eyes. She had this attitude where it's like she was getting off on dominating me and being in control of me, she wanted me to be like her sex toy with absolutely no strings attached, and I played along with it.

I fucked some fat 40 year old lady. She was married and it was a total downlow thing. She wasn't that hot and it wasn't that great, but pussy is always good.

I've taught tai chi since 1989.

Can it be used to fight with? Not unless you have a teacher/trainer who knows a lot of wrestling and or/striking first. It wouldn't be my first choice for something practical. The principles it has are great, but can be more easily applied to a wrestling delivery system. As with so many chinese martial arts - fantastic concepts replaced practical stuff a long time ago. I was already teaching a traditional martial art when I found tai chi. It made me a lot better at my first art, but I would never claim to be able to 'fight' with it. (After spending years watching MMA, I don't claim to be able to 'fight' anyway).

Is 'chi' real? Not that I've ever personally felt. Tai chi done properly teaches really good body mechanics (like any good fighting art) which can make it seem like you're doing amazing things. If I stood in front of Muhammed Ali, I would have thought he was also capable of magic. I've seen stuff I couldn't explain - especially when I was competing in Singapore and the Phillipines, but I whenever I asked to feel it personally, I was told I wasn't allowed to, so in my books it was bogus shit anyway.

Would I do it again? Most definitely yes. If nothing else, gentle exercise and meditation are good things for you and a nice balance to lifting. As a eurasian with some gym time under my belt, I was always lucky enough to have 'the look' (what people expected when they wanted a martial arts teacher). The pussy that that got me over the years was enough to make it worthwhile. Probably drained me of 'chi' for life though!

What's the dude in the clip doing? No freaking idea.

If anyone is interested, Tim Cartmell, BJJ blackbelt is also a very highly accomplished tai chi (and hsing i/pa kua) practitioner. He would be a good teacher to learn the combat aspects from.

I also like this guy - although it's not with resisting partners
