ASCII Stick Figure Tai Chi
Hi all. While looking around for some martial arts related ASCII art that I could include in a signature file, I came across some an ASCII stick figure version of someone doing Yang style tai chi. I thought they were kind of cute and figured some of you might enjoy seeing them as well. These were posted to alt.ascii-art by Vincent Li and I believe he created these drawings himself. I have two other posts of his with more figures doing more postures, so if people like this one, I can post the others, too. Here's the first batch. Let me know if you want to see the others and I'll post them. BTW, mods, feel free to move this to another forum if you think it belongs better somewhere else.

Well, here's the complete set of the little Tai Chi guys for the Yang Style, first form, which I have learnt so far! There has been minor changes for some of those guys I posted earlier. The directions is a little mixed up about half way through the form, but what the hey! Suggestions for improvements will be gladly taken. By the way, I don't know all the names of the moves, and some may be incorrect. Corrections will be greatly appreciated! Form 2 will be posted when I've learn it and put the little guys togther!

More ASCII Tai Chi
Since a couple people liked the first batch of ASCII stick figure tai chi people, I thought I'd go ahead and post the other two I found. Here's the next one.
code:
From: Vincent Li (vli@mprgate.mpr.ca) Subject: It's those Tai Chi guys! Newsgroups: alt.ascii-art Date: 1994-05-09 20:44:51 PST Greetings! As promised, here's the complete set for Forms 2 (and 3) for the Yang Style Tai Chi moves. The names of the moves are not complete and I am guessing on most. I'd say around 80% is probably correct. If you know of corrections, please send them to me. I'll probably post the whole set with all the names corrected later (in the year, may be). Form 3 is the mirror image of 2, so I don't feel like doing it separately for now. Just reverse left & right for 3. Form 4 and 5 should appear soon! Again, 5 is the mirror image of 4, so I'll only do one for now. Yes, it would be cool to have these guys animated, but I would hold my breath, unless you got some time on your hands! (And by all means, send me a copy if you do!) I am contemplating animating them. May be by end of the year. FYI, the Yang style I am learning is suppose to have 8 forms, but I've learn only up to 5 for now.

Even More ASCII Tai Chi
And here's the last batch I have. I have no idea if the guy who did these made more. I couldn't find any others in my web searches.
