[pct-l] Tai Chi & the PCT

[Hiker97 at aol.com (Hiker97@aol.com)]

I am thinking of taking a Tai Chi  class and need some advice.  It might be 
great to know this technique  for stretches on the trail.  I know the yoga Sun 
Pose already.  
 
I can take starting in January two  classes a week for $20 per month over at 
Nellis AFB at the community  center.  It will be taught by a 3rd degree Black 
Belt.  He will teach  the stretching aspects and not the self-defense part of 
Tai Chi.  I guess  we might pick up some self-defense stuff too.  
 
Anyone have an opinion on this out  there in trail land?  Will this really be 
good to know and  beneficial?
 
By the way, the community center  folks asked me if I was interested in 
conducting some classes out there  too.  I wonder what I might talk about?  Oh, I 
know.  Hiking and  the PCT.  That's it.  More victims to indoctrinate with the  
Switchback SuperSecret propaganda.  Neat.  I can't wait to get these  people 
under my "Trail Mad Scientist" diabolical spell and  influence.
 
Don't set your backpack on  fire in protest. They really want me to do 
PowerPoint presentations on safety  and crime prevention.  I just wanted to get you 
all upset.  Lighten  up.  I was just foolin' with you.
