The important thing is the commitment to practice. To decide "I'm

about deciding again, that's done. You've decided, and the only issue
now is - how to continue.

Recently, I was asked how much space is needed to practise tai chi.
As much or as little as you like, I replied... also: Breathing is
an extremely important as pect of tai chi, and its is often difficult

freely available; and since being there from almost the very start
of this recent era of the Internet we have ridden on the cutting edge
of development - as westerners doing tai chi to the best of our abilities
in the here and now - respecting the wisdom of the ancients yet unafraid
of innovation.

and the best I can come up with now is ... depends!
