I didn't take Chi to mean Tai Chi, took it to mean "brother" which it is, or similar words are, in many Native American languages..

Welcome from a Windy City resident working hard to get back to the Tampa bay area! Ask away, and we will have the answer or find one for you, and not just about kilts!

I didn't expect such a quick and kind response from so many.
I only have one kilt but hope to learn more in the future to make a serious traditional purchase. I know I will need more education regarding the various kiltmakers as well as what to look(ask) for when purchasing online. Presently I have a medium weight 5-6 yard wool blend Ferguson. Bought with a great deal of ignorance on _bay. It has worked well in spite of a light lifting of the bottom apron corners. Originally meant for a cruise formal dinner but later had a chance to wear it to a Robert Burns supper and then sadly to my fathers funeral. I was glad I had it and was also able to have a piper to send him off.
Big Dave - Tai Chi is similar to Yang. I have been an instructor for the Taoist Tai Chi Society for about 12 years. Haven't tried it in a kilt yet but seems it should work well as long as the kicks are low.
Riverkilt - I didn't know Chi also had a native american translation that fit so well. I like it! Do you know from which nations?
I appreciate all the encouragement and will soon start posting on the other forums.
Welcome from someone who goes several years back with Qi Gong. While not quite the Tai-Chi excersize it's still a relaxing period of time. Enjoy yourself here and don't be afraid to ask anything.
