Personally I also think of T'ai Chi as being very dude.  One - it's Taoist.  Two - That funny dakhini dance the Dude does on his newly acquired rug.  Three - I've been doing it for 19 years and teaching for 10.  (I never said that I was not governed at least in part by self-interest.)   8)

I think you're on to something talking about the physical aspects of dudeism. I think its been overlooked in favor of more literary approaches, but, what is the Tao without Tai Chi, or Hinduism without Yoga? What is Buddhism without meditation or Shinto without the Tea ceremony?

Once I red that at the beginning, before things become too complicated, Pa Kua was made simply by two concepts, walking in circle and hitting, using Qi also, with the palm of the hand. Now it is a mess that requires years to master and a lot of money to learn. Well, unless you approach it dudeish style.
Is it the same for Tai Chi? On the same article it was stated that at the beginning it was made of just three techniques.
Yeah well, that's just, ya know, like, your opinion, man.

I think we need to get all of this put into one concise spot either of the Dudeism page or the Dudespaper. What do you say?
