Ken & Marco,

I also find that taiji is rather a cultivated taste and

not for everyone. It is unfortunate that many who are hiring instructors

of taiji (and qigong) in our AOM schools are as uninformed about what to

look for as your average YMCA or parks & rec administrator. I

have seen many acupuncture students turned off forever to taiji because

of the way it was taught in their school. In many schools (and at

our conferences), taiji and qigong is offered as an activity rather than

as an essential nourishment for practitioners.

Marco,

I should amend my statement to say that I

have observed that tai4ji2 is not for everyone.

I've seen many, many people take it up

over the years and relatively few stick

with it. Despite the debate that could

arise over why this is so, I've simply

observed that it's not for everyone.

That doesn't mean that I don't think

virtually anyone could benefit from

the study of tai4ji2. And I urge people

to investigate.

It's sometimes hard to find a good teacher.

And maybe that's why so many start and

don't stay with it.
