Baggage

Everyone who starts tai chi approaches the art with some sort of baggage: whether physical or psychological.
The habitual actions and thoughts, the misconceptions, preconceptions and expectations are all present from the very first lesson.
People see what they want to see and frantically attempt to understand tai chi in terms of their existing life experience and memories.

As a consequence, the syllabus involves shedding the baggage before the real training can begin.
