Tai Chi for Beginners
Tai Chi is originally an oral tradition... meaning that you are only supposed to learn it from another who knows and can tell you how to do it & improve.
Obviously, many feel that this has changed. In my opinion, you can learn a LOT from video and texts, but 10 minutes with someone who understand the principles and can adjust your posture can make a huge difference... so, learn as much as you can and then find a group that practices in the mornings and get some additional pointers.
Remember that Tai Chi is NOT about how good you look or about how fluid your motions are. It is about being able to maintain yourself in an upright position while being as relaxed as possible. it is about transferring energy to your feet. t is about getting in touch with yourself. Of course, it is also about self defense.
There are several styles to choose from (Chen, Yang, Wu, etc... This page has a short description of the variations: http://www.taichiacademy.com/yang.htm along w/ pictographs of the movements). People tend to believe their form is the best. My belief is that all styles get you to the same place if you are dedicated so it doesn't really matter which one you choose. Today, martial arts are more for the inner strength and peace it can bring... guns have become the great equalizer in self defense, unfortunately.
