Martial Arts Meditation Techniques
Is Tai Chi right for me?
I’ve recently fallen in love with martia arts, not the fighting part of it, but the meditation and art of it. I want to learn a type of martial arts that is swift and includes meditative techniques, but isn’t exactly slow. I thought about Tai Chi, but all of the videos I have watched on it seem like it’s more of a dance, and I want something that has more action in it. Can anyone help me out?
ps: I know this sounds stupid, but if you saw the movie “the fountain”, the scene where Tom is silhoetted against the stary background has the martial arts I would like to learn.
Actually it may be perfect for you. Sure Tai Chi in the early stages is not a very effective Martial Art, but in the LONG RUN, it is very effective because you learn to move and use your opponents energy against them and for your favor. It is also wonderful for the internal quest that you will undertake as well. You say that meditation and such is important to you so I would say Tai Chi would be good for you IMO.
It has many benefits to it with your health and maintaining your energy levels as well as manipulating your Chi (Ki) better than many other art forms teach. It is a long journey on the Tai Chi path but if you stay with it then it will be a well worthy path to have taken.
Enjoy it.

The History of Tai Chi – Evolving From Martial Art Form Into Meditative Discipline Today
Some of these masters are not even Chinese, in fact, many are of European origin but with a deep and intrinsic love and dedication to this extremely mystical and healing physical discipline that helps a total mind, body and soul connection to be made for rejuvenation, toning, improving balance and increasing inner peace.
Almost meditative in certain movements but powerfully strong in the sense that only a quiet energetic smooth burst of pure dynamics can be, this 2,500 year old descendant of qigong, the original Chinese medicinal self-defense discipline helps to promote inner peace, say Tai Chi historians. In fact, potential attackers can be sensed and effectively dealt with, their aggressive movements counteracted by an alert and experienced tai chi master who is trained in the art of using internal energy for deflecting offensive movements by only calling upon a small amount of his or her own energy for neutralizing larger amounts of force used by the attacker
What is Qi?
Chinese medicine in the traditional sense regards humans as a tiny part of the universe, and like it, they are thought of as existing on a constant interface of 5 life-giving elements (namely water, fire, metal, water, wood, and the earth). This theory links all the bodily organs in much the same way as the 5 aspects of Qi (pronounced ‘chee’) in the universal sense. Qi is regarded as life force or the inner bodily energy that flows through all the intrinsic channels, known as meridian and when the qi is balanced through proper interaction of all these elements in the body, optimum health is achieved.
What is Qigong?
Tai chi (Qi) is said to have originated from Qigong, which is the mind, breathing and movement integrating discipline creating a natural balance of calm energy that can be applied to leisure, professional endeavors and self-defense. Just like Yoga, a primary meditative form of exercise and holistic health principle, Qigong has 3,000+ varieties in addition to 5 chief traditions, namely Taoist, Buddhist and Confucian besides martial arts and of course medical. It can be further sub-divided into 2 main types, “soft” and “hard” of which the former qigong (described inner qigong) integrates tai chi as one form.

Seniors Karate
im considering to undertake another martial art.. which one should i choose?
hi there,
im a senior karate-ka in shukokai karate, and i am not quitting it; its great.. but now i am considering another martial art.. i am a female, 29 just under six feet.. i have far more strength than cardio (although my cardio fitness is really good), i am not skinny.. more solid if anything and weight train with some cardio too outside karate..
Do you reacon i should do a grappling martial art?? utilising more strength?? i mean i dont see myself prancing and running around predominetly..
any suggestions would be good.. 
I’d go with Brazilian Jui Jitsu because it’s the most useful in real life. After you get decent at it, if you ever get into a confrontation it will come in handy. BJJ is based off of ground grappling and submission holds, not strikes.
