Tai Chi...

[fajrdrako]

I joined the Taoist Tai Chi Society of Ottawa today, and had my first lesson.

It was very cool.

Our teacher is about twenty, a student named Jessica. There are about eight in the class, a variety of ages and types - though only one man. The class took an hour, and was pretty intense. Good, though. And not quite as difficult as I feared.

I'm doing it with Beulah, so I have an ally. We came back to my place and visited maaseru and Yolande, and I showed them some music vids from Vividcom, especially ones from fandoms we know and love - Doctor Who (the one I linked to earlier today), Torchwood, and, particularly, Slings and Arrows, which maaseru, Beulah and I love, but which Yolande has never seen.

Yay tai chi!!! What style are you learning?

It's the style developed by Master Moy Lin-shin. There's information about it here (http://www.taoist.org/content/standard.asp?name=TaoistLineage). I like it... so far... and hope to continue on to the forms with swords.
