Sports Chi

Sports Chi

Well, it's taken a while but I've finally ready to push ahead with my new Sports Chi program.

I've just had my flyer and logo professionally designed.

I finally get a chance to combine two passions - sport and Tai Chi.

Now for the billion phone calls required to get a workshop up and running :)

Tai Chi and Natural Movement

GeneTaiChi

I do like teacher Gene Burnett's views on Tai Chi and many of his clips are very informative.

Check out his reaction when he has to deal with an interruption (4.19) while recording this clip.

That's what I call good Tai Chi! :)
