Aaack, aaack, aaack... maybe we could just have a show instead... :P

Cheetah:
How about just some tai-chi? :)

Fairlight:
Or just some Thai? *grins* Ok, sorry, couldn't resist that pun.. I love food, hehe.

well, i've had a few tai chi lessons in shanghai and i think people would get bored after 5 minutes. It's a mix between kung fu and zen-meditation. Interesting from a cultural point of view but not really entertaining for a con. But that's just my opinion. If we manage to find someone who can actually teach tai chi it might be worth asking who'd like to give it a shot


The juggling seems nice though, if we use kiwidos instead of pois (kiwidos are those pois to which are attached ribbons and who make nice shape-effects when they spin). Besides, they are soft and slow (therefore unlikely to hurt anyone) and are still used in china during cultural events like the spring festival or the mid-autumn festival. I'd totally go for that ^^

I know, it was supposed to be a funny (and slightly sarcastic) answer to the (very justified) concern that unprepared people might get hurt during "real" martial arts lessons :) (There's not much you can teach anybody in two hours anyways, so it's pretty much a moot question.)
