I’m used to training barefoot on a mat in Aikido. But now doing Tai Chi I’ve got to be shod. I sometimes wear a Brooks walking style shoe or Keens. I like the stability and support but the relatively sticky sole makes spinning or turning moves difficult. What’s everyone wearing? submitted by /u/takemusu [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’ve been watching his videos for a while now, really liking his approach; this video touches on the topic of silk reeling in Yang Tai chi, something not often discussed. submitted by /u/Zz7722 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I heard the youtuber Jake Mace say it and I am a fan of his. I am just curious if there is some master who said or something so I can look into the source and see if there are more philosophy to take. ​ Thanks, submitted by /u/PhotojournalistNo811 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I'm a bit intimidated by getting started and wondering if time of day would make a big difference, I've heard some people say they feel energized after doing Tai-Chi so i'm not sure if this is something I should reserve for the morning so I'm more exhausted in the evening and can get better sleep. Was hoping to get recommendations as to how i could best get started and how long I should do Tai-Chi each day or if I should start with shorter sessions and increase over time? ​ Not sure if there is a specific type of Tai-Chi that would be better for promoting sleep than others. submitted by /u/L ..read more

This is a video taken after some practice today, since I noticed we were all having discussions about different ways of doing things, and also there's a lot of talk about how people talk without posting what they've got.

I am more focused on relaxing, extending, turning, and shifting, but without much thought to le ..read more
