The Why of Tai Chi: Modern America Looks to Ancient China



"The Way Of Tai Chi" a new documentary hit Asheville last week. This limited showing was viewed at the exclusive Fine Arts Theater. The film maker Bruce Kennedy created a production which was "undeniably slickly done", in the words of film critic Kranky Hank.
This documentary beautifully moves through various styles of Tai Chi & Qigong adding animation and mountain scenery to make for a compelling story. You will leave this film not only with the answer to the question, "why Tai Chi", but with a list of names and addresses so that you can move forward on the, "Where Tai Chi". The only other questions would be when are you going to get started. Featured instructors are Accem Scott, Derek Croley , Larry Brown, Frank Paolillo, and Jan Gillespie.
