Taichi Lessons

I went and did a quick search on google online, and found quite a few online courses. Mostly involved teaching about the forms and moves of Taichi. Personally, I feel like a more scientific approach to Taichi is lacking.

So here's my thoughts on Taichi, broken down in to a lesson by lesson. It's structured into a question and answer format. Most of these exchanges were with my Teacher. There are images throughout, so the lessons aren't as dry.
