So Ombra and I heard that there is a Tai Chi class taking place at our club and decided to try it out today.  The logic being, if we can perfect the slow motion Tai Chi movements and techniques then our karate movements and techniques will become that much stronger.  Well, having taken the 45 minute class, I can definitely say that we are on target with our thinking.  All of the movements take a lot of focus and balance, which is exactly what we need on the other end of the martial arts spectrum - karate, of course.  Now, it turns out, having heard from Ombra about how good the class and instructor are, our Daisempai is going to join us next week!  That will be fun!
