should i restart taiji or just chun?
hello.
can you help?
i used to go to taiji on a tuesday evening, as a supplement from my main wing chun training on a wednesday and saturday.
i've had a break from my taiji class since last summer, so about 5 months break, during this time i have been doing a salsa class on the tuesday instead. i now i feel capable of going back to taiji and being able to keep on doing salsa afterwards, so i would be doing taiji from 6.30-8.30 and salsa from 9-11pm.
But i'm not sure if i should go back. i did find the taiji useful both of itself and for the benefit of my wing chun but i find there are some issues i am struggling with:
1. if i do taiji and then salsa it may be too much physically, not to mention energetically
2. i dont even practice my wing chun forms enough at the moment, so how can i justify adding more forms back into my schedule?
3. i am beginning to see the more subtle elements in my wing chun, which may be improved by playing taiji too, or may be confused by it
4. i have 11 years wing chun experience, and part of me thinks it would be better to build on this base and make my wing chun better rather than to try to add something else
5. but another part of me thinks that taiji would be a better thing for my health and long term ability to teach in the long run
6. maybe i should start something else such as yoga?
any ideas most gratefully accepted.
