you really do. We both know that of course. Although I never tried Tai Chi
and I heard a lot of things about it, well I even saw people practising it.
I was told, that it is even relaxing.


I’ve not that much to do at the moment and I feel the need of some
relaxation. I’ve thought about your offer. I think I´d like to take Tai =
Chi
lessons. Please tell me when I can attend them.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Tai Chi Chuan can be quite relaxing if done as a meditation. It
helps me to find my center. On the other hand, with the force of my chi
behind it the same deceptively gentle movements can wield as much power as
any martial art. I could say something similar of Aikido. Watching
someone practice the art alone, the movements are flowing, almost gentle,
but put in practice, it is highly effective in absorbing, deflecting and
redirecting an opponent's force to incapacitate them.

The classes are typically offered at these times, taught either by myself
or Sifu Long:

I look forward to seeing you there. If you later feel that some private
lessons would be worthwhile, we can discuss it then, and perhaps develop a
style that works best for you.]<<<<<

wednesday.
As I gather you´ll be there sometime.

You didn´t tell me if there are any costs. I´ll just bring some money al=
ong
with me. I don´t know how crowded your classes are, so perhaps you won´t
notice me, but I think I should tell you apart from Sifu Long.

Ok, we´ll meet on monday??]<<<<<
