Preview for upcomming changes

So meanwhile, i try to sort out the new blog. I'll give a general outline of what it'll be.

I am currently doing Tai Chi. I started Tai Chi somewhere back in my late teens or early 20s with the Yang Style 24 Form.

However, once learning the form, i had finished that class.

Unfortunately/Fortunately, Tai Chi itself is simply much more than that. Putting aside the most common views
a) its slow
b) its for oldies
c) its for health
d) its martial arts baby~

Tai Chi, like many martial arts has a core to it which I was taught back when I was learning the 24 form. Sure the teacher taught the form, how to do the form, the applications of the form, or their origins of it. But the essence, fundamentals, philosophy of Tai Chi wasn't passed on to me.

As the saying goes, Ignorance is Bliss.

but, my counter to that is always
"Knowledge is Power"

and my counter to that is
"Wisdom is how and when to use that Power"

And lets put in a new one
"Enlightenment is interwined with Wisdom"

Which brings me to another nice saying that from Buddha back when he was still in the mortal realm and after his enlightenment when a student asked him
   "Buddha, do you know everything?"
To which, the Buddha replied
   "I only know what is essential."

Now, i'll leave that for food for thought for those who are reading and actually got to that stage XD

But yes, i'll be blogging about my lessons? thoughts, opinions, on Tai Chi, along with whatever will be suitable or along those themes.
