[phpbay]Tai Pattern,95,117031[/phpbay]
a quick question.
I am still deciding what martial art to take up I've done a few classes in different ones in my time.
Karate ( goju and another style possibly shotokan)
taekwondo
fencing
I am not looking at going back to fencing.
I was wondering, for arts like karate, if you suck at doing patterns because of coordination issues would doing something like tai-chi help for developing the coordination for memorising patterns?
when doing patterns in a class it is not always possible to slow the pattern down.
you have to do them at the speed of other practitioners.
i am aware tai-chi requires coordination but the question is asked about training tai-chi as a means of improving coordination.
It will, but the way of movement is different from Karate. Karate is a rigid, straightforward external martial art style--and is Japanese.
Tai Chi (Or Taiji Chuan) is a soft, circular internal martial art from China.
It is good to have a balance of internal and external styles and one WILL help the other. Many karate practicioners take tai chi on the side to help. It is recommended.
NOTE: often times, karate dojo also have tai chi classes to offer.
[phpbay]Baby Carrier Free,95,117031[/phpbay]
I have one of those baby carriers that you can put baby in and it wears almost like a back pack...allowing you to have your arms/hands free while carrying baby. I was wondering whether anyone here has tried this while on a light jog? Or is there anything else out there where you can carry your baby and jog?
He seems to like being in it, but I wonder whether it would be too much shaking and risk for hurting him. Thx
It depends how old they are. My dad use to always go on walks and jogs with me when I was little and It never damaged me. Buy if you baby is still small and can't hold up their own head I defiantly wouldn't jog with them. They should be able to easily be able to lift their head before you jog with them because there is no support in those carriers and it can seriously hurt your baby or worse. Also I would look into jogging strollers. They have them now, an they are ment to be used to put your baby in whole jogging.

I would just buy one to know for sure that it is secure and that you wont lose your hammy some even have places for a water bottle and food dish I would check out Petsmart for something not to expensive but secure.
[phpbay]Mei Tai Pattern,95,117031[/phpbay]
Hey everyone! I handmake baby carriers and sell them locally and online, i do custom and premade orders, and i would just LOVE if you could give me your opinions on sling style baby carriers, mei tai style carriers, and your favorite fabric patterns and prints.
I will choose a best answer =]
THE absolute best wrap ever for me (i'm short and dumpy) is the one at http://www.mamankangourou.ca
the wide coverage down both arms means zero stress on the shoulders and neck and because it is infinitly adjustable, there's zero stress on the back if you've done it right.
very simple to make: it's 16ft of 22" wide fabric.
mine was jersey - t-shirt fabric - and while that was superb when she was wee, it's no good now that she's whoa.
i don't know anything about fabric but if i could, i'd get one in maybe a silk - i've been told that silk has very high tensile strength while still having a bit of give and breathability for comfort.
i'd have it reversible: dark one side, very light the other - on cold days, i'd wear it dark side out so it would help keep baby warm. on hot days, i'd wear it light side out to repel the heat from the sun's rays.
and definitey pockets - not just one huge open pound, either: one largish pouch for things like my wallet, with a closure easy to operate one-handed. then a bunch of smaller pouches for cell phone, TTC tickets, house keys, and the other little things you need to grab. having a lot of smaller pockets would reduce the blind fumbling through pocket and purse.
hmmmm... what else would be cool would be a section that's made of the same stuff the uber-muslim women wear over their eyes: that way, the baby can see out but be more or less protected from the sun and prying ppl. also better air circulation.
