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.

Greetings!
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!
Enjoy! 8-)
