Can Tai Chi Make My Karate Better? KFP 211
A recent question, “Can Tai Chi make my Shotokan Karate better”, really peaked my interest. My personal response was ‘of course’ I have seen it many times over, and better yet, I have seen it make other things better. Golfers and swimmers both have used it, but .. why?
I pulled out my old texts biomechanics, physical education and the motor learning theorem, to draft a solid response based in research and not just my opinion.

Customer Reviews
Class Is In Session
TW Smith does a superhuman job of researching and delivering in-depth discussions on a wide variety of topics related to the history and culture of martial arts, and it's all the more impressive that he brings that kind of quality on a weekly basis. You can listen to this podcast purely for entertainment and you'll certainly get some benefit, but to get the most out of it you might be better off listening in a quiet place where you can take notes. Even though it says "KungFu" in the name, he doesn't limit himself to the Chinese arts and I can strongly recommend this podcast to serious martial artists of any style.
Thank you!
This podcast is very informative, and TW has a nice rhythm. It makes it easy for me to listen too. I appreciate this podcast and am thankful for taking your time to make them.
A Diamond in the Rough
I've listened to several of Sifu Smith's podcasts and only recently did it occur to me that I hadn't yet come to iTunes to give both him and the podcast five well-deserved stars. Sifu Smith, mea culpa for that oversight! :-)
Of the few martial arts podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis, I really appreciate the careful attention to historical accuracy as well as the obvious large amount of research that he puts into each episode. This dedication to quality content makes KungFu Podcasts really stand out and I really enjoy and learn from the historical information that he provides. Well done and I look forward to many, many more episodes. <bows in respect>
