All right, I'm not doing this on my own so put on your thinking caps!

I'm looking up a Tai Chi school in the area, maybe even trying to find my old sifu so I can get around to trying to pass my student-teacher test. Also, I'll be taking out some of the kids interested in Tai Chi to regular classes with me, since there's no way I can work around teaching them myself if we're doing this long term. I'm Not Allowed. Yet.

Still, either way, I've got that lot covered.

But.

I'm sure there are others among the kids who might not mind taking up a particular Martial Art that isn't related to the self-defense classes we teach as part of the curriculum or Tai Chi.

So - any suggestions as to a form of Martial Art which might suit one student better than another? Cause while I'm at it I can do a blitz and find out about schools in the area that teach those too and suggest that to the kids. Or we can arrange something here at the school for them.

Well? As Aurora might say, chop chop people!


Edit : ...I'm just going to find a nice wall to beat my head on now. Yep.

This may sound kinda silly, but after that talk we had, I was thinking about some way of talking to Angelo, and for some reason, that Brazilian art that looks almost like dancing came to mind. Capo-something. Because, with his power, and the flexibility he must have, it'd probably be a pretty good fit.

Or I could just be talkin' crazy. :)

Glad I could be of help there, Al. Lots of other people seem to have stuff that they know (Manuel, Clarice, and Shiro with their various sword techniques, for starters), but maybe we could look into more formal training for some of them in town somewhere?
