Tai Chi

Aikido

The physical and possible violent power of gentle movement is a new feeling, and one in which I find myself not completely comfortable with. I am used to the centering of self, the Ashtanga Yoga philosophy; the movement of Chi internally, only internally, without the potential power of moving it into someone elses space.

And yet I think I like this new feeling.

I like the philosophy of combative non-combat, I like the idea that I can fight by not fighting.

It seems to suit me, somehow.
