I was thinking about looking into Tai Chi but I was wondering if not being very flexible would make it hard to do. I cant even sit in the lotus position.(any tips on that?) Would this be a problem?
Correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think you need to be at all flexible for beginners Tai Chi, all the places round here say all ages, including oaps so yeah
yeah you don' thave to be flexible or in very good shape or very graceful... lol, its pretty easy, i took it for 8 weeks a few years ago... the instructor had a bad knee. it's nice though... because it does look graceful and it's concentrated and slow posing... i've been t hinking of doing it again.
there are lots of styles of tai chi, it's an enlightening sport that's very good for your health... Some of the styles are illegal in asia tho, don't ask me why... But it's really good for you body and mind, and you don't have to be superman when you start You'll get there in due time!
No, you don't need a lot of flexibility. Most of the Tai Chi I've seen doesn't involve a lot of high kicks. You're gonna be doing it slowly anyway, so I wouldn't worry.
You don't require felxibility for Tai-Chi, if you are not felxible then it's a good thing to start doing as you will become more flexible as you progress. Tai-Chi is very good and if you find a good teacher you will get alot from it. The internal aspects of it make it more like yoga than a martial art in the sense of the health benefits. Best of luck on your path! Om Shanti
That's due to Communist governments, in China it's state controlled and certain styles can't be thought in Public mainly because of their highly meditative aspects which the government see as a threat, god only knows why.
