Gently Deadly

I was doing some promotional photography for my Tai Chi group last night and this image is the first try at representing the importance of the hands in Tai Chi.

Tai Chi has lots of calming and healing benefits but I am always amazed at how the application of these graceful movements will generally result in some opponent being seriously crippled and, in some cases, most definitely dead ...... though that's not why I practice it .... seriously! ;-)
