    Thanks for such a warm welcome!

    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.

    Another big WELCOME from me, although it is later than I would have like to give it to you. Looks like you are fitting in well.

    Welcome!

    I've been a martial arts student for many years. These days I'm trying my hands (and feet) at this form of Tai Chi:
