Hello,

I have done WT for one year now, but had to stop because of lack of time to get there (about a two/three hour drive atm :(). So I found an Aikido and a TJQ school nearby, they both seem to have their thing, but since Aikido ain't on this board and it's from japan (j/k) I'd prefer to do TJQ atm =]

BUT is TJQ some kind of Tai Chi softy thing ? Or is it more like WT ? Or is it a totally different style ? How long would you say does it take to start seeing results (ex : WT : Two weeks) ? Do You guys train with arms fairly soon or not (hey I like it) ?

Btw can someone tell me what WUSHU is ? I can't seem to find descent information about it, if I type WUSHU I sometimes find Tai Chi, then I simply find Wush etc... is TJQ Wushu ?

What are the main principles from TJQ ? And could someone please show me a picture of their basic fighting stance ? :D I'm really having trouble finding stuff about it :)

First of what style of Tai Chi is offered there?

There are quiet a bit of differences between them.
Stances also vary between styles.

Weapons not for some time in a good school.

Try multiple spelling like
Tai Ji Quan
Tai Chi Chuan.
etc
in your Net-searches, the place is full of sites with videos and photos.
