yes karate and tai chi are dirffering styles of fighting, one is chinese and the other is japaneese, chalk and cheese fighting styles, karate is more set moves, so moves or strikes can be read more easily, tai chi is more of a fluid motion, less predictable, so harder to fight against.

this is not about me wanting one thing for me son and the exwife wanting another, its about her shooting me down everytime i am able to find something that i can, and have done to try and connect with my son, has if its not hard enough already, for example, when i took him rock climbing in a indoor centre with people i had to pay by the hour, who worked there, who could barely climb a ladder unaided, i am at a very good level of climbing, yet i took the "safe" route so she couldnt find fault and stop my visitation, her excuse for that one was it is to dangerous a sport for a 7 year old boy to do, what 7r old boy do you know that doesnt climb up everything they can?

the last one was his birthday last month, i promised him a mini x motor bike so i could teach him to ride a motor bike, she vetoed that also, yet i was the one that didnt/couldnt provide the bike for him, i lose everytime
