Good on ya I don't actually play (yes, you "play" taiji rather than "practice") myself - I use breathing and chi exercises from my kung fu training to do the same thing - but there are plenty of similarities, and it's great. It's actually good fun, as well as relaxing.

Mongoose: each to his own It's a martial art.

Thanks for the link, bookmarked

Yep, I used to meditate when I did Shotokan, but, while that helps me focus, it didn't help me release the pent up stress (though, kicking a punch bag hard enough to knock a 3rd Dan onto his back helped with that).
