RangerG Former Moderator Registered: 04/18/05 Posts: 1026 Loc: Chester County, Pennsylvania	OK..so I'm having a bit of fun as I go out the door...sue me. I have found a lot of references to Combat Tai Chi. Since I am getting old, and old folks are supposed to do Tai Chi...I may have to ponder this.. I wonder if I can do both Krav AND Combat Tai Chi... It also appears that if you start a thread "Krav or <insert form here>" it gets at least a thousand hits... _________________________ "If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough."

MattJ Free Rhinoplasty! Prolific Registered: 11/25/04 Posts: 15629 Loc: York PA. USA	I have taken a few Tai Chi classes. While not my cup of tea, you can get a bit of a sweat going doing some of the postures in the forms. Not sure about combat Tai Chi as I don't think I have ever seen it. But RangerG is far too intense (psycho? ) for anything other than KM. _________________________ "In case you ever wondered what it's like to be knocked out, it's like waking up from a nightmare only to discover it wasn't a dream." -Forrest Griffin

ShikataGaNai Veteran Registered: 08/27/05 Posts: 1163 Loc: Bellingham, WA	I tried Chuan and Wudang(?) Tai Chi, which are supposed to be "fighting" styles. Judging by most of the conversations had in the Krav forum, I don't think you'd be impressed. It's a fine art, very interesting and all... but yeah
