tai chi

Ni Hao! Hello everyone and welcome to the tai chi section of my website! Here is what you can expect from this section of the website.

NO MASTER

Now I am not a tai chi master I am just a dabbler, and since 2004 I have picked up a few nuggets of wisdom and some funny stories and humbly share them with you here.

I wanted to get that out of the way because I can just see real tai chi masters, sifus and advanced students saying, “What?!? Todd has a section of his website where he is talking about tai chi?? He is not an expert or authority on tai chi!! He never got to the advanced levels! He was a dabbler who skipped class! I will cannon punch his little skinny chicken ass!”

So what to expect here…

We have to talk about the BIG FIGHT at the old Crabby Jack’s! And how it led me to tai chi and all of the wonderful things that I have discovered through tai chi since then.

 how tai chi and these little discoveries that came with it have changed my life for the better.

We need to talk about what is tai chi and the amazing benefits of tai chi.  I will also be sharing a few simple things I learned about Taoism and how I have used it in my life.

In this section we will be talking about turtles! How I discovered the turtle to be my spirit animal. The ‘Tao of Turtle’. I will be exploring my Sifu’s (teacher) books (Turtle Planet!) and other books and sharing them with you.

In this section we will discussing tai chi as a supreme exercise. Tai chi as a mind-body practice and why that is important.

We are going to talk about Wu Wei, Flow and tai chi as a mind-expanding experience.

How to use coffee and tai chi together

How to get a hard-core kung fu workout when it’s rainy or bad weather outside.

We will be talking about my favorite Chinese Movies and Dramas that have any tai chi, kung fu, Taoism etc

  We will be talking about video Games that don’t waste your time

 We are going to talk about how I used the quiet inner energy of tai chi to help me succeed in different areas of my life and what that is.

We are going to talk about focus. What it actually is and how to get it.

And then there is the overspill. There are a lot of stories that I have that don’t seem to fit into any of the nine categories that I have in this website here and I will be putting stories in categories that might be more of a distant match. For example, I have fortune cookie story I want to tell you and it will wind up here.

So anyway, I am going to be having all kinds of crazy stories in here, of course I will be talking directly about tai chi and how fantastic it is!
