It's either that or Akido, but i think i lack the mental resilience or determination to go with akido totally.

Good Aikido is hard to find. Not as hard to find as non-gay Tai Chi, but still pretty hard to find.

Oh lordy, you've hit it on the head. The martial art I want to learn above all others is Taiji, but the only people I find who teach it around here are fags who call it a "healing exercise" and probably have no idea that it's lethal when done correctly, or at least don't believe it.

I'm graduating in May and for a year I have free reign to move to whatever city I want for my year off. I want to move someplace where I can find a real taiji instructor, but I have no idea where to look (and yes, I tried google. Perhaps my search paramaters were the wrong ones.)

Does anyone have any idea how I can confirm that a local taiji instructor in some random town is good without meeting them in person?
