So why not actually show us some then?

There's a lot of talking here, but no doing. Where is your video clip of you actually doing some Tai Chi?

hi barefoot doctor, saw this a few weeks ago and pondered on your definition which I think is a valid view but not a useful definition since what you are describing, to me, relates to channeling and chi kung does involve a lot of that. Looking at the yingyang symbol is a bit of a clue and it doesn't really shout "shadow boxing" at one. If one wanted to define tai chi it may be more the case of the separation of solid and empty and the perception of say, the empty within the solid.
