Yang Family Tai Chi Discussion Board

It was funny that we were discussing this topic because today in my Tai Chi class my teacher said, "You can do this anywhere...if you're waiting in a line at the bank just start practicing your Tai Chi, people will move to another line and you'll get taken really quickly."....LOL (I'll jus...

I am very new to Tai Chi however, I do most things barefooted. Is there any reason one can not play with out any shoes at all? I even used to play soccer barefooted.

LOL...Well, I live in Buffalo New York so there's not a whole lot one can do here that would shock or surprise any one.

Well, right now I'm feeling it mostly in my shoulder blade area, my knees, and my butt.

Normally after exercising and especially after starting a new exercise program or a new sport I'm usually very tired after a work out...read...

Hello, I am new to this board and to Tai Chi. I had my first class just yesterday. I loved it!! It was totally awesome!! I am the sort of person who just thinks about work all the time.
