the way I see it, kung fu is loosely defined as Chinese martial art. And that would put Tai Chi under that category.

& family refer to "kung fu" as a practiced skill, so we normally say "Dah gong fu", which means fighting skill, and so it could mean martial

arts. I asked my friend what he defined "Kung Fu" as, and he didn't have an idea. What pissed me off is that you can't say something is not

a thing when you don't even know what that thing is, or how to explain it! Grr! ¬_¬

's friend wants to learn Northern Shaolin Kung Fu because 1) he gets to learn a kung fu, 2) it infleunced Firebending in Avatar.

rage at his friend if he starts learning Northern Shaolin and boosting to our group of friends that only he knows kung fu...

Ugh, seriously? He doesn't know what he's talking about. Maybe you should just talk about how awesome Tai Chi is to your buddies!

does! There's this old lady who apparently needed a zimmer frame to move around, but since learning Tai Chi, she no longer needs it!

but yeah, my friend has been annoying a few others, and it's because he's just lonely, and my other friend thinks it's because he's not used

to having and speaking to friends before.

would love to learn Tai Chi as I am convinced it would helkp me with my balance

BTW I see cake... hmmm?

link you to a couple of videos where it will give you guide you through the Yang style Tai Chi form.

and yes, you do see a cake.
