Thanks for the note, and it's a real slick looking sight! If you just added HTTP:// to your url it would have given you a automatic link like this . . .

Anyway, I was impressed there were some outdoor/open TaiChi practices in Tokyo such as :
YOYOGI PARK Saturday 7am to 9am and SETAGAYA PARK Tuesday,Thursday 7am to 9am, not that many of the FG here would be awake at those times. Anyway, those FG here studying in the 'hard-style' martial arts would could really grow by cross-training in TaiChi Chuan.

As a final note, TaiChi Chuan in Japanese has a rather different name like Tai Kyoku ken, right?

a real slick looking sight!

Very slick! Kudos!

You need some videos on there to show the fluid, beautiful movements of Tai Chi.

Yoyogi is cool. A couple years ago, I captured some video of kids doing Capoera: http://www.TokyoDV.com/capoeira.html

This clip is large, but just a normal day roaming around Yoyogi in the Spring: http://www.TokyoDV.com/SpringFevers.html

(nothing too special, but there's more Capoera.. just before the rave started.)

Keep up the great work!

7am to 9am, not that many of the FG here would be awake at those times.

I never sleep.

I walk the streets frightening young kids hanging around outside conbinis, gozensamas stumbling home and old men queuing for the pachinko parlors to open.

I never sleep.

I peer through the window at Dennys and mesmerize off duty bar hostesses drinking early morning coffee while resting their tired feet up on the seats.

I walk the streets, I hear the sounds. I smell the fetid afterglow of the Japanese day now gone to rest.

I never sleep.

They call me the Knight Gaijin

That reminds of my favorite Steely Dan song
Deacon Blues:


My back to the wall
A victim of laughing chance
This is for me
The essence of true romance
Sharing the things we know and love
With those of my kind
Libations
Sensations
That stagger the mind

I crawl like a viper
Through these suburban streets
Make love to these women
Languid and bittersweet
I'll rise when the sun goes down
Cover every game in town
A world of my own
I'll make it my home sweet home

I never sleep.
I never sleep.

Oh, I stand corrected...

my computer is always warm and running.
sleep pales beneath the glow of my screen...

Sleep those little slices of
death, how I loath...

WE NEVER SLEEP.
