The Importance of External Training in Tai Chi

I think that external training first can be invaluable or at least alongside. You know, you can do the Tai Chi, but I think it's an awful waste when someone comes to it at that age who doesn't also put themselves through some external training as well. Maybe there's more important things than becoming the best far-generate at that age. It's a long life. Why want to master that at the beginning? Build yourself up first.
