Temporarily at least, I am taking Tai Chi Chuan at the Theosophical Society ( http://www.theosophical.org ) in Wheaton, IL. It's only the energy work and exercise portion of the form, but it's GREAT exercise. It looks slow and graceful, and it is, but it also breaks you into a sweat after 15 minutes.
I'm really loving the class, but I also greatly miss my Isshin Shorinji Ryu Okinawa Te.
The issue is, there's 45 minutes travel to the karate class, and no space for practice in the small condo I now call home.
I still need to think of a way to make it happen, though. Hopefully, I'll come up with a solution soon.
Meanwhile, I think the Tai Chi will help me be in better shape when I find my way back to karate.
Sayonara,
Dan
