    Ditto! Good luck! Any idea what style you'll be studying?

    This is the course: http://www.cambridgebuddhistcentre.com/events/event_details.php?eid=2993

    It says "a section of the Yang short form".

    Sounds pretty generic. The 5 exercises are likely to be chi kung. Will give you an overview of tai chi and help you decide whether you want to continue learning. :)

    That's sounds about right. I remembered some of the principles from what my mum & uncle told me (I'm Chinese) but it was all a long time ago.

    Cool. You'll be able to go along and take exercises away to practice then.

    I'm Chinese, too. I teach tai chi and chi kung (although I'm no master/expert! Nor am I old, grey and wizened! Oh, wait, I AM grey. :D ).

    LOL I've got a few white hairs myself, but I'm only 30 :-(

    I was pretty pleased to not be the only Asian at the class tonight! (There was another Asian lady, but it was just us two.)

    If you'd started tai chi 10 years ago... :D
