I was kind of hoping the article was going to be about how most tie chee teachers would corner you in a room and bore you to death talking about why everything else is wrong, but your article was good, too.
It's funny how the conversation changes when you move in different social circles. Although I don't consider myself a fighter, in recent years I've hung around and mostly trained with folks to whom use of force is or has been a job and/or survival requirement, and none of them wants any part of a taiji guy with even a little fighting experience (not that they can't deal with it, it just sucks to have to).
