I started practicing tai chi chuan after a skateboarding injury destroyed my left shoulder 9 years ago. I've since recovered so I don't practice as much as I used to, but when I do, I notice a healthy improvement of my overall mood (and waistline!).

I think that improving concentration, like working better late at night or early morning, is more an issue of removing distractions. I blaze through my translations when my wife drags me out shopping (I love Khol's because they have what I call the "husband/boyfriend" section, where there's free wifi, a bunch of couches and electrical outlets where I can sit and translate on my laptop while she hunts discounts and calculates coupons - she once bought $40 worth of clothes, and a wallet for me, for $1.35!). At 5 am, no one is on facebook, no one emails me, and no one calls so I just focus on the translation.

That and caffeine.. Caffeine works wonders.


Are the Tai Chi instructions online or can you download them? Glad to hear you got good results.

And thanks for the tip on how to survive Khol's


Yeah, there are tons of resources online or you can check with a YMCA or recreation center, as they tend to have classes too. My physical therapist gave me a DVD to start out with and I later moved to group classes.
