Dear Sifu Gohring:

When I first started tai chi, I enjoyed it because it was exercise but didn't feel like it. I noticed changes in my fitness and balance without really feeling like I was working out. I enjoyed learning the new postures and I really liked the feeling when you learn one little thing that cascades through the form, and makes everything make more sense.

Now that I'm in push-hands, I'm paying more attention to the martial arts side of t'ai chi. It's cool to see why your hands move that way or why you shift your weight like that.
I guess what it comes down to is that I like t'ai chi because I always feel like I have something more to learn.

Sincerely,
Bart H.
