Since I started doing tai chi I have kept an occasional journal recording my progress, talking about people I have met, and generally recording my observations and, some times, theories about the art.

Much of what I have written is private and much more is just rubbish. Since I started this website I have been recording my observations on the site as well. These are just my observations. I am not claiming any great or profound insight. If any of of it helps you on your own tai chi journey I am pleased. If you just find what I have to say interesting that is enough.  

In tai chi we say that four ounces can move 1,000 pounds. 

How is this possible? Well tai chi does not rely on muscle power. We work to build our internal strength and to use other people’s energy against them. It’s the lazy guy’s kung fu, you let the other person do the work. You know the old saying ‘the bigger they come the harder they fall’? Well that’s the way it is with tai chi.

Are you one-in-a-thousand?
