I've got to get away from learning Tai Chi from certain instructional programs. With Yoga, I have Wai Lana. I like Wai Lana. I won't say names but I'm highly annoyed by the person who teaches the instructional TV show I'm resigned to watch. He is an abomination to me. An anathema. A plague. Phage. Eviiiiiil.

You must have had a tough time. My sympathies to you. But I hope this does not put you off Tai Chi. I have just started out, and it is really very beautiful. It makes me feel just so serene and calm.
I think instructional programs are really hit or miss. I've learned certain yoga asanas this way, and it really wasn't as effective as doing the practice with an instructor in real time. In many ways, I feel that wellness/exercise programs are a huge money-making scheme for lots of people. But I do hope you continue with Tai Chi, because it really is a wonderful practice that's been around for eons.

If I could find a free class, I will. As with knitting, somehow, I think that learning/participating in person might help me initially. I pick up Wai Lana really quickly but...with knitting...I had to learn in person before I could even grasp the concept. Even then, it took me three months to finally make something credible.

With Tai Chi, unless I can find something as interesting as Wai Lana, I'm going to need a coach.

It hasn't put me off of Tai Chi. I've always been off of the person who was teaching it in the program, so I know not to be biased against the martial arts form.
