Understand about the knees,, Ive had two knee operations..sometimes My knees behave,, sometimes,,they just dont do right,, then if it aint my knees its my hips, LOL..if it aint one thing its anuther. But the Tai Ji is very helpful in making my joints behave and making them feel well. My Sifu calls me Charles.. so her favorite remark is,",Charles where is your Chi,, ?? I think you left it at Karate practice. I think you need to finish karate ,you always lose your Chi there"..Oh well,,one of these days I will finish karate and just go with Tai Ji,,but for right now,,Ill keep on keeping on with it.LOL
Seems like when I was 40,., 60 was old,,now that im 60,,well 80 is old..hmmmm hope I make it to 80 ,, so i can say that 100 is old,, and even better I hope i can still practice when im 80.

I wish I would have started Taiji at a younger age. Wow, I'm only 40 and Im talking like I'm as old as the hills! (my knees feel that way, most times!)
I did Butokukan Karate for about 20 years before I started Wushu...and I have some funny stories about my teacher's comments and reactions to my being "hard style" when I first started learning Wushu. One of my favorites is "Ah. Rusty....you so square." (hard style "square"). lol!
