I think its very cool, but if a person doesn’t know that you can use it to defend yourself, it can look kind of slow. It’s very useful, so i would defenitely like it at my school.I’m not sure how much some of my friends would like it though.

July 23, 2009 @ 8:48 amI liked tai chi a lot. I think it would be a good thing to learn because it is relaxing though it based on self defence movements. I think that is really cool. If tai chi was at our school I would be very excited. School can be stressful and tai chi would help students relax.

July 23, 2009 @ 8:48 amMy opinion about Tai Chi is that it was very fun, because we got to move around, while relaxing at the same time. Tai Chi would most definately be a benificial thing to learn because of the physical benefits. Tai Chi would most definately benefit students at school by relaxing them while having exercise at the same time.

July 23, 2009 @ 8:48 amI think Tai-Chi is a very relaxing sport, and it makes me feel very focused, and relaxed through the body. I think it would be a good thing to learn because it will make you stronger mentally. I would also support having Tai Chi as part of the Physical Education at my school because it would help some students to focus on life and think about some important things that they never really thought about. It would benifit I think, almost everyone. =D

July 23, 2009 @ 8:49 amI liked Tai Chi. I think it is good to learn becuase it helps your mind and body. I don’ think it would necessarily be a good thing for students, at least in the schools I have been to. They would probably end up trying Tai Chi, even though they are undisciplined and go home and try it on their friends and family. I don’t think it is necesarily a good idea. Tai Chi would be good for physical education because of the menatl and muscular exercise and slef control.

July 23, 2009 @ 8:51 amWhen the tai chi master came to our school I learned alot about tai chi like relaxing is a big part of taichi and it can help you consentrate. I also learned that some of the moves in tai chi can be use in martail arts

July 23, 2009 @ 8:51 amTai chi is good in helping you focus and learn self-dicipline, but i would probably not like having it as a hobby. Even though i did not enjoy it very much it is a good ting to learn if you like tai chi. If tai chi would be recommended to being part of the physical education of my school I would not support it. This is because I rather play dodgeball and basketball than tai chi personally. Many students at our school would benefit from having tai chi as part of the curriculum. It would help them focus in class and be self-diciplined. I would rather do kung fu. ( :

July 23, 2009 @ 8:53 amI think tai chi was enjoyable since it was something different and cultural. I think it is a good thing to learn because it teaches focus and it is a good way to relax.I would support it in school because it is different then normal things we do in school.

July 23, 2009 @ 8:55 amTai Chi is a very intriguing art; teaching and/or allowing people muscle control, patience, and flexibility. It helps keep the people who practice it fit and strong (I will not say healthy because health is more then just being fit). It helps train your mind to think and focus clearly and patiently. However good it is, I will not support it in a school situation. Why? Well simply put, there may not be enough students to fill the class making it a dud class. A dud class is a class that only lasts through maybe two semesters in a school before being cut from the curriclum. Extracurriclar wise, though, should be supported, as then there will be students who are truly interested in the class and are not looking for a filler, so that they may float through school. For student benefits, well they are the same benefits that everyone will get from practicing Tai Chi: flexibility, endurance, muscular strenth, patience, focus, and mental processing.
