Tai-Chi Status Update


As far as I can tell from reviewing this blog, I've been in Tai-Chi since October 2006. That means in two months I'll have been doing it for three years. But instead of a black-belt (which, of course, there is no such thing for Tai-Chi anyway), I'M STILL WORKING ON THE FIRST FORM. No joke, I don't know it yet. The last few moves, at least, and we are still going over the basics in class.

That's one of the big differences between internal and external martial arts. External martial arts show results quickly. Internal takes YEARS to show progress. Oh well, it's probably about the journey or something.
